Just realized I've repaired 500 shutters this year alone

I was doing inventory the other day and tallied up my shutter repairs for 2023. Hit 500 exactly last week which blew my mind because I thought I was closer to 300. Most of them were leaf shutters from old Mamiya and Hasselblad lenses that people dig up at estate sales. The funny thing is I've only been doing this full time for about 2 years now so that number felt crazy. Has anyone else tracked their numbers and been surprised by how many repairs you're actually turning around?

Wait, 500 shutters in just two years of doing this full time?

Same here, I'm around 400 deep and still can't keep up with demand.
