The backlog for repair on Leica cameras is 7 months right now (per the local dealer). This doesn't appear to be limited to hifi.
Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem??
I'm looking at buying a used amplifier that needs some work, and lucky it's still under warranty. In researching places to get work done it's horrifying to learn that it could take two or three months after speaking to a few places.
Is this a widespread problem in the audio gear repair world? That's really bad.
