Find a Repair Shop

I need to expand this list but for now, these are the shops I can recommend in various locations around the US as well as for specific brands if you don't wish to wait over a year for me to work on your gear or it's something I don't work on.

I don't even bother working on this stuff because Willy Hermann is the best in the business and has very good rates: https://www.willyhs.com/

California

Common Wave Hifi (LA)

Illinois

StereoRehab

Iowa

SkyLabs

Tennessee

Red Bank Vintage Audio

Washington State
Bellingham:

TechOne Electronics (Fong just does repairs, no restorations)

Seattle:

Gig Harbor Audio, Hawthorne Stereo, Turntables and Trails, Condor Electronics.

Everywhere else

You've got 3 options:

  • Find a group on Facebook in your area for audio stuff and ask for tech recommendations.
  • Google "Stereo Repair Shops Near Me" and call them to ask about repair availability and whether they can fix your gear. If they can't/won't ask them if they can recommend anyone. Lots of techs work from home and don't have websites.
  • There is a Master List made by someone else with locations but I don’t have any experience with them so do your due diligence to vet them.
