How To Book

1. Check our booking status table for availability of suitable booking types
2. If bookings are available, request one using the enquiry form at the bottom of this page
3. If we’re fully booked or closed, check again later, guided by the dates suggested

Demand for our services exceeds capacity, and it’s unfortunately not viable to maintain a waitlist. I’m reducing booking volume in 2026 to make things more manageable. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Facts, hallelujah!

Hello Mike, very nice website and PROFESSIONAL work you perform on this audio vintage gear. Read your Sansui AU-20000 repair page and loved how great your work ethics are. What I like also is that you repair/revise all stuff, not just high-end. I felt very positive to react on your good work.
