These guys did a great job repairing my Yamaha R-700 receiver! It took a while for the parts to come it, but it’s as good as new!! Thanks John!!

These guys are great. John replaced the sliders in my Numark NS7iii. I am from Canton, and literally couldn't find another shop that would work on it. John took time over the phone to understand the issue and then explain the likely cause on the board. This board isn't made anymore, and I would have spent more than twice the repair cost to buy a used one. I appreciate the guys here. You can tell they are old-school gearheads who get the job done. Thanks again John and everyone!
