Fixed my two turntables (one very old) quickly and at a reasonable price. Ben was super helpful and patient with my many questions and steered me in the right direction. Highly professional and knows his tech. Highest recommendation.

My Kenwood KD500 was in need of some maintenance. It's an older 1979 model, but still in great condition. Tom was extremely helpful, friendly and informative. He helped me choose a new cartridge that would pair well with the Grace 840 tonearm and the type of music I enjoy experiencing-- we decided on the Sumiko Olympia. Tom said it would be ready by afternoon (I dropped it of at 1030). Tom then performed the cart install and full setup. He had it setup and ready to go within an hour and a half. Got it home and hooked up. The turntable sounds figgin awesome! Glad it's back up and running. The Rega is going back into the closet.

I purchased a home theater system using Paradigm Personas from Fred's. I love the whole experience nearly as much as my system. I worked with Tony, whom I can't recommend more, however, all the staff are top shelf. He built me an amazing sounding system, getting every dollar of value possible from my budget. I am very pleased with what I purchased, thank you!

If they don't service that specific model, they refer a lot of work out to Inner Sound in Clackamas who also do excellent work.
From Staff at Fred's: Hi Shayne, Thanks for thinking of us here at Fred's Sound Of Music. We do have a repair shop and pretty much service what we have sold since 1948. Because we are a small shop, we must limit what comes in for repair. So about your repair needs... problems with head headphones and small items such as bluetooth speaker repair, at times it can cost as much to repair as to replace with a new model ... unfortunately. If you wish, you can bring the item to us, bluetooth or headphone, and see if we can come up with a solution, either an affordable quick fix on our service bench or replacement in our showroom. Thanks again for thinking of us here at Fred's. And since we are located in a popular area of Portland, Parking can be a bear so please use our parking lot right behind our building during your time with us here on Hawthorne Blvd. Thanks Staff
Hi Janina. I'm sorry, but we do not work on them. Have you tried Innersound? They may be able to help. thanks
Hi Neil. Due to limited space in our service department, we are only able to work on the speakers we have sold. If yours came from us, we are happy to help. If they did not, please contact Jamac on Sandy blvd @ 503-252-2929. They should be able to help. Please let me know if you have further questions. Bill
Hi Wade. From the sound of things, you would either use "typical" speaker wire with a positive and negative connection OR the RCA ("jack plug"). The RCA connection, although not ideal, was used on many inexpensive speakers in the 1960's and 1970's. No modern amp uses RCA for speaker connections. Please call our shop if you need further clarification on this. We have the cables if you need them. thank you
Hi and thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry, but we do not work on such units. I think All Service Musical may do so still. Please give them a call. Please let us know if you have further questions. thanks!
We are "by appointment only" to get into the store, in order to limit the number of customers. Masks and social distancing are required of staff and customers. We are taking employee temperatures upon arrival each day. All surfaces/handles are sanitized after each customer leaves as well as periodically throughout the day. We are requesting that customers do not come to the store if they or anyone in their household has a fever. We are encouraging our employees to practice safe behavior when not at work.
Hi Cheri. On (rare) ocasion we have them. Currently we do not. We keep a list of our used inventory on our website. Please keep an eye there, but they are very rare. thanks
Hi. I'm sorry but we do not repair car subs. thanks
Hi Graham. I'm sorry, but we do not work on those type of units. I would suggest calling Innersound to see if they can help. Their phone number is 503-655-2755. thanks for thinking of us
Hi Matt and thanks for your email. I'm sorry to say that we do not work on boomboxes. You might try Innersound @ 503-655-2755. Please let us know if you have further questions. thanks
Good morning, Michael. We do not sell Outlaw. We have Bryston, Rotel, Anthem, NAD, Yamaha, Sony ES, Marantz, Audio Control, as well as used equipment from various brands. If anything from any of these manufacturers is of interest please let us know.
No they don't
That might be too old for their shop. I'd recommend Specialty Audio over on NE Halsey.
Hi Brent, thanks for thinking of us here at Fred's Sound Of Music. We are very familiar with your receiver and have repaired many, bringing them back to like new condition! When you get a chance please stop by our store. We will plug in your receiver while you are in our store and get some better ideas on price range, etc. Thanks again and we're open 7 days a week and have a customer parking lot at our rear entrance and will be glad to carry your receiver into our store. Take care, Steve
Hi John and thanks for reaching out. At this time, we are very full, so we are only taking in items that were purchased from us originally. If your unit came from us, please bring it in. If it did not, please try Innersound or All Service Musical. Please let us know if you have further questions thanks
Hi Anthony. We do not have a used pair. We do have the Audio Technica 120's in stock in our new inventory. They run $299 each, so $598 for a pair. If they are of interest, please stop by and check them out!
Good morning. I'm sorry to say that we do not work on Walkmen. Innersound may be able to help. Please give them a call at 503-655-2755. thanks
