The Worst Bodgery We’ve Seen is Coming…

Coming soon, a collaboration with my friend Jason @ The Speaker Doctor.

You simply will not believe what we found inside this otherwise gorgeous, recently sold NAD 160a receiver…

This receiver, complete with the bodgery of missing boards, broken wires and destroyed everything, was sold as: “Mint … in pristine condition … fully working.” In reality, this receiver is destroyed, in scrap condition, with no audio functions working or viable to repair.

A simple ‘misunderstanding’ or a ‘mistake’ perhaps? No. This case is so mind-bogglingly bad that even Jason and I, who regularly collaborate about the poor workmanship we see in hi-fi equipment, didn’t believe this at first.

I’ve brought attention to the darker side of our hobby through my Hall of Shame, but that isn’t enough. The people responsible for this type of work can be stopped, but only with your help. Regardless of who your repairer is, if you agree that this isn’t okay, please help us stop it.

I’m only interested in the facts, so if you know something about how the receiver ended up like this, you might want to reach out before I publish the details. Those responsible will have to be named to save others, but if you think that’s unfair or that we should bury these stories, put your name to your opinion, and tell me why. Sounds like a dare..? It’s a double dare 😉

More on this story, soon.

  1. Don’t just name and shame Mike, SHOUT them OUT!; including to Consumer Affairs if done and sold by a business.
    Keep fighting the good fight

    1. Thanks, John. I appreciate that. These guys always come for me, of course, which is the part people don’t see. As you’ll see soon with this one, though, it’s beyond believable that this was sold as mint, working, etc. Stay tuned.
