Who repair vintage turntables?
Unless you can 'walk' a table in for repair it is not cost effective to repair. Even then, repairs are often worth the cost. Recently I had a quote of $650 to repair a Sony x700, assuming the parts could be found. Replacements do come along for about $300 in the auction sites, often with local pick up possible, again the only safe way to acquire a table. However, if the seller has all the original packing materials and boxes, it is often worth the try. With proper insurance the latter can lower the risk of loss. |
Joel who owned and operated The Turntable Factory for 40 years recently passed away after a long illness. I believe one of his employees still operates the business. http://www.theturntablefactory.com/ If not, they can probably point you to someone else. There are a few others around. You might even try All In One Electronics in Canada. They are the North American distributor for Dual. They do repairs as well. |
