Oh no, he actually pays me for my time and labor as well, but he's bartering with me for some radios and test equipment I needed by allowing me to have an old radio or some old test equipment in exchange for my repair services on some of his old radios, by valuing my repair work time and stuff equal to the value of whatever it is I wanted.
I was able to get an old Knight Model 600 tube tester from him for just what I put into time and parts to fix an old Stromberg Carlson radio and an old Canadian Viking Cathedral Radio (which was mostly research time on the later radio because I couldn't find a service manual for the unit because of it being a Canadian radio, and they have different service information than we do here in the US.)
I also got a really nice variac thrown in as well a superior electric unit.
