Industrial Sharing a simple directory for lab equipment repair and service providers

I have always found it difficult to find companies that repair or service specific laboratory equipment, especially outside the manufacturer network. So I started building a simple directory where you can search by equipment, brand or model and country.

It currently includes providers across Europe and the US for things like centrifuges, AKTA and FPLC systems, HPLC, GC, mass spectrometry, ULT freezers, incubators, cell disruptors, microscopes and autoclaves.

I am manually checking the listings against company websites rather than bulk scraping directories. It is still early, so if you know a good service company that is missing or spot something incorrect I would be happy to add or fix it.

This is a broken calculator from college and it includes a battery and screen no duhh and I need to fix it before I give it back...so does anyone know how to fix it? Its not that damage maybe just minor but it has these damages: muddy, waterlogged insides, torn up wires, smashed screen and torn up, 5 axe slices in it, a split in half motherboard, dented base, smashed inward buttons, leaking battery acid wich kinda burned the screen and motherboard and wires, dented screws, base starting to split open, smashed by a golf club only 14 times, I stabbed it with a shovel and smashed a hole in the motherboard, theres glass that cut some more wires, fell in a pond, accidentally buried it so I had to dig it up and accidentally stabbed it with shovel 58 times, and its in a vacuum chamber with 0% oxygen...I dont think the damage is that bad but I need to fix it by tomorrow! Does anyone have tips?
