About MBT

EXPERIENCE

After 8 years as an electronics technician in the US Navy doing mostly avionics bench repair, I started my first independent avionics repair shop.  I received FAA approval as a repair station in 1977.  Since that time, I have personally repaired hundreds of avionics components of all types.

SPECIALIZATION

I eventually realized that my niche was repairing poorly documented, obsolete, and difficult units that are shunned by most shops.  When I become aware of one of these orphaned units, I collect all available information and add my own documentation by reverse engineering.  The goal is to fully understand the unit and build an efficient test setup.

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND SERVICE

 My simple business strategy is to be the best source of repair for these selected items.  Other shops happily pass these units to me for repair because I deliver a unit that looks good and works properly at a reasonable cost.  I view my work as a craft and not a production line.  I constantly study the units and apply everything that I learn to improve the quality of my work.
