Randy has found a niche that few others have explored, providing cost-effective repair services for optical, RF and microwave test equipment that is old, out of warranty, or in some cases, even obsolete. The Custom-Cal services have saved my customers 10's of thousands of dollars on the cost of new equipment replacements as well as the exorbitant in-warranty calibration and repair costs charged by the test equipment OEMs."

Randy has always been flexible, and been able to accommodate rush orders; has offered creative and effective solutions to keep costs down. I would give him my highest recommendation without reservation for any service he and his company provides."
