    Marianne,
    
    You might try a small appliance repair shop if they still exist.
    We used to have some when I was growing up who would make an attempt
    to fix anything electical.  All they can do is say no.  Try the
    Yellow Pages for some numbers under Appliances - Repair.

    Those of us in the horse world know how expensive these equine
    luxuries are and attempt to make do with reusing and recycling items
    rather than replacing them.
    
    I have patched more blankets, restitched halters (by hand - ouch),
    and replaced nylon parts of lead lines than I care to admit. If
    I can make something easily and more cheaply than buying it I will.
    But what do I do about my clipper blades.
    
    I have no idea what to do with clipper blades.  I live in the Nashua,
    New Hampshire area.  Are there any noters out there who know where
    I can get clipper blades sharpened?      
    
    I also need to have my field boots resoled.  Any recommendations
    are welcomed!
    
    thanks!

    Hi Dani,
    
    I'm also looking for a place to get mine done.  I think there
    is a place down in Lynn or Revere, MA that does them, but I'd
    like to find somewhere closer.  I don't really want to have
    to buy new clippers just to get a sharp blade.  There was a
    note earlier in the file about this - I don't remember the
    number off-hand (it listed the place in MA).

    IT'S SORT OF A LONG TRIP JUST TO GET YOUR BLADES SHARPENED, BUT
    IF YOUR IN THE DERRY N.H. AREA, THE VICTORY PASS TACK SHOP OWNED
    BY CHER THOMPSON DOES REPAIRS AND BLADE SHARPENING.  SHE IS LOCATED
    RIGHT BY RT 93 EXIT 4 ON RT 102 (BY BEN FRANKLIN'S).  

    
    Thanks for the replys.
    
    The Victory Pass tack shop won't be too far.  My horse is boarded
    in that general direction.
    
    Julie, if you want to plan a rendez-vous I could take your clippers
    over.  First I'll call and see what they say.                    
    
    Thanks for the tip!  I believe I have a total of 3 sets to be
    sharpened!

    I did put this in some other reply - but that's no problem...

    I'm from Colorado Springs, so I can't recommend a place but I can
    suggest a tactic.  You might want to look up grooming places (as
    in dog grooming) in the Yellow Pages, call them, and ask them where
    they get their blades done.  Also, local veterinarians might be
    able to recommend a place.  I used to work for a vet and took the
    blades in about once a month.

    There is a place in Westboro, MA which just started sharpening
    clipper blades (mine were his first).
    
    	Bill's Sharpening Service 
    	4 Phillips st
    	Westboro, MA 01581
    	508-366-5027
    
    
    	This place is only open a few hours a week, all day saturday, 
    	and 2 hours Monday nite (7-9pm??).

    yea but how much were they to sharpen??
