Indy Picks - Back From The Dead Gadget Repairs
About two and a half years ago, Barb Scranton broke her cell phone, which she used in just about every aspect of her life. “It was the biggest hassle in the world,” she says. “I took it to someone to get it repaired, and that person broke it two more times.” She said she wanted to do something so other people didn’t have to have the same experience. On their third trip back from Pueblo, her husband, Jeff, said, “You know, I could do that. I could fix that cell phone.” Barb describes Jeff as being “very mechanically inclined and able to fix just about anything”.
