Anyone know a decent shop that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg?

I'd give The CB Shop in Johnstown a try.

Something weird going on with that place. If one googles the name “cb shop and more” a location in loveland comes up. I was by there today and its a house. The link you provide says its name is “cb shop and more”. Street view shows a house not a business.

Have you ever been there Jim?

Yes. Same people.

They used to be at Johnson's Corner and then JC changed something and they moved to a shop in south Loveland for a year or few before relocating to a home based business. I've been to their place / home in Johnstown a time or two. Nice folks - father / daughter - willing to help. Gave me more time than they needed and charged me a pittance. I'd recommend them but would appreciate knowing what others experience.

EDIT: That is odd. I did as you mention and G-Maps shows a house on the SWC of Cleveland and 2nd in Loveland - but the "pictures" of the storefront on that same search result is the storefront of the Loveland store which is a block south and on the east side of the road.

This link shows what I knew was the Loveland shop (I've driven by and had thought to stop in and when I decided to stop in they had moved to Johnstown).

Thanks Jim. I took a sick day today and ran over there. A bit gruff on the phone but extremely nice in person. It appears my soldering skills are not up to snuff. When I attempted to fix it I ended up with another bad connection. Anyway he fixed me right up to the extremely outrageous sum of $15.

So are they in Loveland or Johnstown?
