just my opinion,but if you can give us any models you have that have been reviewed(ideally here,
but even another board)i think that would greatly improve your responses.just like with us hobbiest,it's diffciult to get appointments until some type of"record"is around.most of us
(on t.e.r./experienced)don't feel the poteintal risks out weight the reward for seeing "newbies".
a new hobbiest usually has to submit to providing personal information in order to get their 1st visit.in a providers case,i have no idea what substitue there are  for reviews,other than word of mouth from a know hobbiest.good luck and hope your successful
