I started in the TV / Audio repair trade way back in 1978, at 17 years old and as an apprentice I was given the car radios and record players to repair as no one else wanted to do them. Being a Hi-Fi fan anyway I wasn’t bothered and enjoyed the work. Nowadays, as televisions become more and more disposable I find myself doing more Hi-Fi repairs as people, like myself, will treasure an old piece of audio equipment far more than their tv. It’s a nice feeling bringing an old amplifier or turntable back to life, in the last few years I have been given all sorts to repair, from old Arcam amps and CD players, to vintage Pioneer and Trio separates, to B&O turntables and music systems, in all cases the owners had lost hope of ever getting them going. I seem to have had a glut of Sharp VZ-3000’s recently, they are a vertical turntable combined with tape and tuner and seem to be appreciating in value due to their quirkiness and fast approaching vintage status.
As well as repairs I’ve refurbished a couple of Bang and Olufsen turntables and a beocentre, a combined turntable, tape deck and tuner. I occasionally have some of these items for sale here.
I have received Hi-Fi for repair from all over the country and even a couple from France and Spain, so if something needs to be posted to me drop me a quick email and we can discuss options.
