Analogue audio equipment is surprisingly complex; damage in one part affecting others. When a fault occurs, we recommend a careful and thorough assessment of the entire unit in order to achieve optimal results – today, and into the future.
-
All boards (PCBs), mechanical assemblies, and removable parts are extracted.
The chassis is cleaned inside and out — no surface left untouched. -
Faults are identified, but more importantly, their underlying causes are traced and confirmed to prevent recurring issues.
-
Faulty, aged, or unstable electronic components are replaced with modern, high-grade parts chosen for reliability, performance, and longevity. Power supplies are thoroughly inspected, voltages calibrated, and stability verified.
-
Old lubrication removed and replaced
Bearings inspected or replaced
Tape path cleaned and demagnetised
Brakes, torque, and pinch-roller pressure checked
All rubber parts replaced
Motors, transports, and mechanisms restored to spec
-
Once restored, the unit is carefully reassembled and brought back to operating precision through extensive calibration and alignment.
-
The unit undergoes thorough stress tests, functional checks, and extended runtime verification to ensure absolute reliability.
-
Your equipment is returned to its proud owner with a comprehensive service report and a detailed photographic log of all work completed.
Whether it’s a treasured personal unit or critical professional equipment, we can restore it to the performance it was designed to deliver.
