Repairs to lightning flash

Postby davedidsmith » Sun Aug 10, 2014 6:15 am

I have a Vigano Lightning flash that is broken in two through the flash section, is there anyone who repairs /polishes/rechromes these? Sorry no photo's and away from home at the moment.

I have just typed in "Carte Blanche" into the search on the top of the Facebook page and it was top of the list for me and I have not liked their page.

Rich, thanks but I've been through about a hundred Carte Blanche on Facebook now without success- everything from musicians to funeral directors and can't find it. JazzyB is going to get me a name next week.

I had a new old stock alloy footboard extension I snapped :oops: welded and polished for £40 by an alloy welder I got from the yellow pages (Eastleigh Hants).

As he said, to him it was a ta break job.

Came up at the top of the list for me, and I've never heard of 'em. Who knows the vagaries of FB's algorithms....

Guys, managed to get a hold of Yann at Carte Banche, getting a price for him now on these flashes. I'm currently at work so wife got the photo's, did ask her why she hadn't cleaned the panels, that went down like a lead balloon, think my sex life ended next time home :lol:
Excuse the self tapping screw- this is exactly how I purchased her :roll:

Sorry to hijack but does anyone have a direct email address for Carte Blanche as I don't have a facebook account and would like to contact Yann for a price

Cheers
