vintage audio
Guys who do vintage audio restorations — and do them well — are few and far between.
The process is lengthy and demands a lot of knowledge and experience. Most places that take on these projects are overwhelmed. This means long wait times and part-time or outsourced techs WHO THE OWNERS DON’T KNOW WELL working on your equipment.
After 50 years, a lot of this vintage gear has problematic components that have drifted out of spec. From aging, leaky capacitors to noisy, corroded transistors - THEY NEED REPLACING. basic component upgrades can boost performance and extend the life of your beloved silver-faced classic.
I use only the best components from Japan and Europe and know the value upgrades that most repair shops won’t tell you about.
