Can/Should I send my Eagle Spectrum in for some Whites love?

[A#1]

Simple really.....

I've had the thing now for 20 some odd years. Never been a lick of trouble, only problem is I cracked the lower shaft. Still seems to work fine.

BUt I wonder sometimes if I should send it into Whites for a once over and a tune up.......if they do that sort of thing.

And if they do, how much might it cost me? I keep kicking around getting a new one, and if the cost was enough I may choose that route instead.

You might replace the lower shaft but they can't fix it if its not broke, so if it's working fine I wouldn't spend money that won't make it work any better. HH

Yeh, I fixed the shaft with an electrical tape cast, and it gone another 6 or 8 years, and I's sure it has plenty more.

I just didn't know if there were components that would degrade over time, or tuning that could be retuned.....that kinda thing.

The White Electronics people are great. They may go over it for free except for the freight. As for the shaft, you never know, they may cover it. I sent in a MXT out of warranty and they put a selector switch on for free. Go to the web site. See which repair center is in you district and call them. Good luck.

If it's still working good/right then I wouldn't want and doesn't need any tuning, the shaft shouldn't be an expensive part but if your fine with your repair then I say your good to go. HH
