Refurbishment

In certain applications it is more desirable to “refurbish” a piece of equipment, rather than replace or reverse engineer the item.

Refurbishment involves the repair of a piece of equipment to “like new” status. This may require the replacement of certain components of the equipment, which may in turn require reverse engineering of those components, rather than the entire piece of equipment. An example would be replacing a circuit board or a power supply rather than an entire instrument.

This solution is often more cost effective than reverse engineering the entire piece of equipment.
