Arent many shops that even deal with these tanks we have let alone repair them. The Commander on this forum may have some ideas. he is the leading officer of our club N.E.A.D, the North East Armored Division. we are based in northern southern NJ/NY respectively. Very near NYC.
 He may have some ideas of a shop in your area.

Ji have a Pershing doesn't shoot, and a tiger 1, where the turret doesn't go around completely.  My days of trying to fix things are over.

My physical problems don't allow me to do things.

I will pay for postage both ways, and parts and labor..

Thank you for answering

Hi Lamp,

I've PMed you before on April 13th. I was born on LI and still have family and friends near you. There are many NEAD members in NY and on LI. I will send you my contact information. The NEAD CLub is a great group of guys and we help each other out for free all the time. So it Pays to join. We will assist you in any way we can. Many of the guys who have answered this post are NEAD members. Are these all HL tanks? Or are some Tamiya?

"I have a Pershing doesn't shoot, and a tiger 1, where the turret doesn't go around completely. My days of trying to fix things are over."

If the Pershing is a HL airsoft, make sure the switch is on for the airsoft (Cycle it a few times on & off) then try tapping just above the mantlet with the butt of a hand tool. They often jam from mis-feeds and bad shaped BBs. As for the Tiger turret, the HL tanks are NOT supposed to go 360 degrees around for fear of wires twisting. There is a gap in the turret rings gear teeth that is not cut. You can cut out the missing teeth by hand and it is a easy modification. I hope this gets you back in action.

Bob

PS Carl does great work and is very talented. A real gentleman to deal with.

The turret on the tiger goes 180 on one side but only 90 on the other side.
