I can restore your misbehaving amplifier to “Like-New” condition. I love old tube amps! I have experience with almost all the amps of the 1940s through the 1990s.

Troubleshooting electronics is something of an art. I enjoy working on the toughest problems – where persistence pays off. I have successfully repaired equipment that other technicians have given up on.

I will be happy to talk to you about your project. If your project is complex and requires research, development and design, I charge $25 / hour for these types of services.
Mystery Solutions
Everyone knows of “that one amp” that had a fault that couldn’t be fixed. I specialize in repairing these amps. The causes can be almost anything, but some of the weirdest are: A mouse nest, spider eggs on a circuit board, spilled beer, a loose paper clip, and a tiny colony of mushrooms. Seriously.
