I need to have some postwar equipment repaired and I'm looking for a resource in the Southwestern PA area (I'm in Canonsburg, PA).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

I suggest you call Robert Barth. He lives in Perryopolis, PA. His phone number is 724-736-0488. Bob repairs trains for Fairchance Pharmacy.

Thanks Guys!

Jim, I've used Bob in the past with great results.

I was under the impression that he wasn't working at the Pharmacy any more.

I'll give him a buzz.

Graz: You posted the following message early last year:

"Fyi Fairchance pharmacy spun off their train business to a standalone store in downtown Uniontown called "get a hobby." Good store as well."

So is he now at the Uniontown location?

Bill,

Sorry, I worded my recent response incorrectly. I meant to say that I thought that he didn't make the move to the Uniontown location when the Hobby stuff was spun off.

I'll give him a call today to find out and will report back.

Just spoke with Bob and he does indeed still do repair work for "Get a Hobby" in Uniontown.
