I have the exact same set. Mine was used just a few years back for 12 hours a day, over several weeks as part of a vintage Christmas display/prop.
(I'd be glad to trade out of it, perhaps for some repair work on other sets)
Either way, they are good sets and your so-called repairman sounds like a tool.
