It's hard to think of some of the wilder ones but one really stands out. A "cowboy" brought a 15 inch magnavox in and said, "all I want you to do is change the flyback. That's it". I didn't own the shop at he time so he and the shop owner agreed on a price and he left the TV. I checked the set and it was a broken horizontal osc coil. The owner said "do what he wants and only that!"
Well, when he came to get the set he wanted to see it play. The owner said "it has a new flyback, that's all we did per your instructions". I thought he was going to take a swing at the shop owner. He then said, is it going to cost much more to fix it?
He had it fully repaired this time. When he came to get it, the owner of the shop handed him his old flyback and said, "here is your spare flyback". It's still good.
He was not a happy camper.....
Gotta love it!
