Re: Speedy Cables - a users experience
O.K., on the basis that you've not actually said when you posted them, just a random monday, so I think I'll be a bit more cynical:
Days: 163
Cost: £341.03p all in.
Communication: took chasing before any you heard anything.
Result: Gauges look like new orginals and work fine.

Re: Speedy Cables - a users experience
Thanks for the guesses. I'll let a few more responders have a stab at the answer and I'll reveal the refurbishment timescale this evening.
One more snippet of info to help guide your answer....
Speedy Cables took delivery of my shipment the morning after I sent it to them. I made careful efforts to log all their actions on my iPhone calendar. I wanted to be sure of their performance with an auditable trail.
24 hours passed.
And then I got a call. They quoted me a price and I confirmed approval to proceed. Having sanctioned the work promptly I waited.....

5 instruments at 5 hours each at £20 hour = £500 + 20% = £600

Re: Speedy Cables - a users experience
Did they arrive back before you sent them? A bit like Back to Future, problem was they both existed in the same time dimension so the refurbed ones cancelled the crummy ones out and from them on neither existed as they slowly disappeared from your Iphone photo that you took with the Polaroid style app? So you or Speedy Cables upset the time continuum.
