The business model today that is analogous to TV repair is PC servicing.
We make more house calls/business calls than accept PC's the customer brings to us.
Most times we can fix it on site but many times take more than 30 minutes. Sometimes I think that the cost to travel to the customers site, spend 30min to 1hr to examine the PC, and taking it back to the shop is not worth it - you can purchase a new PC for less. But the data copying, software installation, and deboxing/setup of a new PC is also time consuming.
I wonder if you TV repair guys in the 1970s charging $25 to travel to, spend 30 minutes looking over, removing chassis, travel to shop, repair time, parts, and take back and setup ... did you really make much money??
