    This advice seems right on the mark to me. I did lease operation
    repairs for almost 12 years with various retailers. From small
    independent to national chains. The rent was always free with a %
    split on all repairs and custom work. The national chains usually
    want to work from a piece work price sheet on repairs but
    percentages were negotiable on custom work. Good luck on your first 
    experience. Frank Goss
