Repair Shops
Repair shops for your vintage audio
Many people don’t have local options for getting their vintage audio gear repaired, restored or modified. This means you need to ship your pride and joy to another state, across country, or to another country. This page has repair shops known to have a good reputation and are committed to doing quality work. This includes tonearm rewires, cartridge rebuilding, and stylus retipping.
If you are a shop owner and want to join my network of trusted repair audio shops, contact me. There is a locator map below under the alphabetical listing.
