Located in San Francisco California
We've been doing repairs on Professional Audio Equipment as an Independent shop since 1981.
As of October 1, 2008 I've decided NOT to do any out-of-area travel work...
We repair, upgrade and modify almost all professional ANALOG equipment....
Ampex, MCI, Studer, Otari tape recorders....
Vintage NEVE consoles and other consoles...
from SSL's, API's, Trident, MCI, SoundWorkShop, to Soundcraft, and so on
We also work on lots of various tube equipment,
almost all outboard gear,
and design and manufacture Custom studio equipment when needed....
and of course we have designed and built Complete Recording Studios
as well as done acoustic design and treatment for various problem locations
- keeping your sound inside and the noise outside!
and of course we have a good selection of various parts for Professional Tape Recorders.
It's just become too expensive to travel: the cost of airfare, shipping test gear,
tools, and parts via Overnight UPS or FedEx (both to the job and back to the shop),
and the fact that today most studio owners have no idea of the 'real' condition of
their gear - I'm finding that a lot of folks think that their gear is in good condition
with only a few problems, when often it's in very very poor condition with major work
required to bring it back to original specifications... which means hours and hours
of tech work and lots of parts.... and usually without the budget to do the work.
Plus it isn't 'fun' to travel anymore.
So as of October 1st, 2008 I put a halt on travel farther than driving distance
- which means we'll drive to pretty much most of California, but that's about it.
