I used to do TV repair in hawaii, back in the good old days. "Major Mac" was a competing outfit. I could always tell when they had worked on a set before. Broken convergence coils hanging by their wires, cracked tuning slugs, solder joints that looked like they'd been done with a Bic.
Definitely a "golden screwdriver" outfit. I would take the back off, spot their handywork, and immediately have the owner come look at it, so they knew that we hadn't butchered it like that.
