  1. I’ve always been interested by Intend products. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to sell many service parts for home mechanics and I haven’t heard of anyone in the US servicing them.

    • We’d certainly like to. Hoping to make it happen at some point but it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be in the cards near term.
