Replacement Keytops Pricing

[John Ross]

There is a guide available, from either PTG, or Randy Potter, that has the suggested time for different jobs.
When I started I didn't charge the customer for the time it took me, I charged for the time I thought it should have taken me. 
I didn't know about there being a guide, and at that time, there probably wasn't.
I always felt that the customer should not be paying for my learning experience.

  Hello again,
   
  I am now proud to say I am an official associate member of PTG (Austin TX Chapter) and am looking forward to testing and RPT status in the future.  My question is as follows:
   
  What is a fair retail price for new white keytops?  Black Keytops?  Labor plus materials?  About how long does it take an experienced person (of which I am not in this area) to do the job?  I am looking at it as a learning experience so am willing to not feel like a huge profit, if any, is necessary.  What would be a good product choice for a Gulbransen console?  Thanks again.
