[labnetwork] Looking for Westbound Wirebonder service

[Jing Guo]

Hi Guy, 

The senior service engineer Brendan King from WB set up his own company to service WB wire bonder. He was vice president of westbound before and has been working on wire bonders for 30 yrs. 

He just finished ours 7KE ball bonder service last week. His email is bking at krngbonding.com <mailto:bking at krngbonding.com> and phone number is 714-880-4147

He should be able to help.


Best,
Jing

Now it seems like they may no longer be in business.  Emails to the service tech bounce, the phone numbers don’t work, and it looks like they no longer have a website.  Do those of you with these tools have a service contact person who we could contact?
