Thanks Scott! What a pleasure to meet you! You made a 12 yr. old very happy by repairing his tube radio to working order within an hour! He was extremely impressed with your shop and helpful knowledge (as was I). Until we meet again!

Scott is very knowledgeable and personable. I had a problem with my antique Victrola VE-405 and he immediately knew what the issue was and fixed it. He is the best and his prices are more than reasonable. B. Van Note

Questions & Answers

I have a magnadyne sv83 radio/ record player that has been sitting in a basement for 20 years. I do not know what is wrong with it. Will you be able to fix it?

That unit was made in Europe, and I generally don't work on European units. Call me at 951-836-0348 and I can recommend someone who might be able to work on it. Scott

Dean, Thanks for inquiring about your repairing receiver. However, I do not work on solid-state units like yours. I only work on vintage units that use vacuum tubes. Sorry.

No, I don't stock needles for phonographs. I buy them as needed from suppliers.

I bought a Macintosh ma230 preamplifier. However, the sound quality is not good, I want to check the whole. What is the amount?

The MA230 is mostly solid-state, and I don't work on solid-state units. However, the output section is tube and I can service that part of it. If you want someone to check it as a whole, it might be better to find someone who can do that. If you want, I can test the tubes and lube/clean the controls.

Hello I have a Mackie fr1400 2 channel power amp that has an issue on one channel sounds terrible at random times and also the cooling fan makes some noise that's very distracting at times . Can you fix it or do you repair that stuff? Thanks

Sorry, but I don't work on solid state units. I only work on older tube units.
