'''George Dibos''' | '''George Dibos''' began collecting, refurbishing, and repairing pipes in the 1970's as hobby, and went full time in 2007. He now has the most comprehensive dedicated repair shop in the United States. To control demand/workload he no longer accepts blind mail-ins, but asks that work requests be made via phone, usually with emailed photos and discussion to follow. His specialties are high grade collectables, and technically difficult repairs that require high precision and specialized tools. He can be reached at (816) 605 1341. In 2018 he also started making and uploading repair and restoration videos to YouTube to assist hobbyists and other professionals. Here is a link to his playlists including various procedures: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQlM1pWKqd5prZTdEDANZg/playlists George Dibos High Grade Pipe Repair and Restoration Playlists]. | ||
