Spring is around the corner!

If you have an older machine that could use a bit of TLC.

Battery Replacement - This is a frequent question.  The battery is readily available it is found in UPS system and alarm system backups.  Also there are instructions on how to do it the support tab.  And of course if you have any questions give me a call.

If you would like me to refurbish your iStart.  As long as the circuit board is in good condition (working) and the case is intact.  I will fully replace and renew all the rest: battery, air pump, horns, membrane panel (face plate), LRT (Little Rubber Thing) and charger.  The cost is $250


Lead time is 5 to 10 days.
