I'll be the devil's advocate here and point out that technicians have to under go training, more specialized tools need to be owned, and larger facilities are required today versus the late 1950's.

Yes, I dislike having to pay for shop work but I did not want my lack of experience to factor in to buying a new cylinder for what would be well over a thousand dollars.
