Re callibration duration
How many days does it take to re-calibrate your FGA from pick up to re-delivery? Last year mine was back on the 3rd day, this year its been 3 days and I haven't had a quote yet. I rang the company today and they told me 4-7 days is normal. What do you think?

Re: Re callibration duration
I think it depends on the time of year.
Had mine done a few weeks ago and it was away 10 days!!

Re: Re callibration duration
Depends on make of FGA, some a quicker than others. I find best not to go through Parts Center etc and go direct to manufacturer.

Re: Re callibration duration
That is exactly the service I would expect Kirk. I phoned the company yesterday and was told that my Anton hadn't been looked at. You can imagine my reply. Time is money and I can't book any gas certs in while it's away. It's about time these re-calibration companies stepped up to the mark now that CP1 is compulsory.

Re: Re callibration duration
Last two years, my Anton has been away approx. 10 days which i agree is not acceptable but they appear to not give a stuff with a take it or leave it attitude. Will be looking for somebody else this year.

Re: Re callibration duration
Who are you using for calibration Kirk? Im needing my Anton done.
If you cant fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem..

Re: Re callibration duration
I've got a 450 I'm using just now, but the Sprint was due a few months back, its not a panic but Id like to get it done before the winter as a backup.
