Vintage Amp, Mixer and Keyboard Repairs
REPAIRS SERVICE
All of our equipment is maintained by Steve Christie and Steve Roberts. We are able to repair and service most types of vintage amp / keyboard and mixer equipment. We are also able to fashion replica, fully functional metal parts for old keyboards and amps - e.g. metal plates, knee levers and legs.
PRICING
For general servicing and repairs we charge £60 for the initial inspection, consultation, and review of what needs doing, and then £40 per hour after that. Please see below for some rough ideas of full costs for servicing various pieces of equipment.
ONLINE CONSULTATION
We also offer online consultations for £60 per hour, for questions on problem solving, schematic reading and wiring.
Please note that we cannot be held liable for any damage incurred or any safety aspect in an online consultation, as we cannot physically look at the item. You must find a competent electrician to do any repairs.
BALL-PARK FIGURES FOR SERVICING
As a rough idea, a basic power supply re-cap and general cleanup (all connectors) is £250. A more in-depth investigation will be priced depending on what needs to be done.
For a full service on a valve amp, including replacement parts (except valves or transformers) prices start from £250
Full Clavioline or Jennings Univox service, not including replacement parts is £350
Full Ondioline service, not including replacement parts is £600
Please email or call for a quote as all jobs are different.
While we aim to get your equipment sorted as quickly as is possible, sometimes it takes longer than expected in an old piece of equipment, especially if an unexpected problem is encountered.
DONATE YOUR OLD GEAR
We also welcome any donated instruments or equipment (broken or working) and can also arrange collection if required. All equipment received is either used in the studio, or broken down to be reused as parts for repairs.
