Process

How restoration intake works.

Photos come first. Shipping comes later. That keeps bad candidates, wrong lighter types, and avoidable surprises off the bench.

Send clear photos of all sides, top, bottom, inside case, insert/mechanism, damage, markings, and missing parts.

Tell me whether you want functional repair, cosmetic restoration, full restoration, or “do whatever it takes.”

I decide whether the lighter is a good candidate, needs more photos, should be declined, or can move to quote/shipping.
