Ask them who/where the manufacturer is
I zig-zagged across town following the referrals until I eventually got
to the place where they actually did physical repairs on the premises. I
think it depends on the brand.
Remember that cell-phones have good motors in them too, and I suspect
they're more likely to be repaired that pagers, as they're generally
worth more thus slightly less susceptable to our disposable culture.
However, I seem to recall that you were selling around about two
_hundred_ Namiki pager motors last year, so you must be doing
_something_ right :-)
