It is VERY difficult to find folks willing to work on "vintage"
electronics,
primarily due to parts availability and the lack of
techs. This is mostly due to a market drive to cheaply made,
disposable electronics over the last 20+
years. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox for a couple
minutes. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to do any outside
repairs but....
General Vintage or Newer Consumer
Electronics repair:
A
note about restorations / refurbishments / repairs to 'vintage
electronics' (or anything for that matter);
Firstly, a 40+ year old unit
likely doesn't need "repaired". It NEEDS a complete refurbishment /
restoration. Most 'vintage electronics' has likely 'sat around' in
some closet, basement, crawlspace, attic etc for the last 20+ years.
In some rare instances, the gear may never even been taken out of
the box since new. This is NOT a 'good thing'. Lot's of vintage gear
have 'lubes' and 'rubber parts' in them. Lubes stop being "lubes"
and start becoming 'glues'. Rubber can do a number of things with
time. It can 'glaze over' (think the pencil eraser you put in a
drawer, then a year or two later, it's all 'slick' and simply glides
across the paper without erasing anything), it can harden (and in
the case of a belt may permanently take on the shape of the pulleys
it's going around in a state of 'atrophy'), it can crack /
disintegrate, or depending on how it was originally vulcanized, it
can revert back to it's natural state of 'liquid goo' leaving a 'tar
like' substance on everything it has touched inside or on the unit.
While not as prevalent of an issue, capacitors will be 'dried up' to
a degree or may have leaked in a number of places as well. Heaven
forbid there were any sort of 'batteries' in the unit (think 'memory
back-up for tuners), as they will likely have leaked out (not a
common issue, as few units will have need for batteries). Thus we
want technicians to be speaking in terms of 'restoration / full
refurbishment' instead of 'repair'. You don't pull a '57 Chevy out
of a barn after sitting for the last 30 years with the intention of
'repairing' it for a trip across the country tomorrow. You "RESTORE"
/ "Refurbish" it!
Secondly, just being a 'repair' shop or electronics
technician or having a 'double E' doesn't make one person an
'expert' in ALL things electronics. In medicine you have a
"GP", but he will have a rolodex of 'Specialists' to refer to for
specific tasks that are 'above is station / comfort zone'. Some of
those "Specialists", may have even more 'Specialized' experts to
refer to. Just being an auto-mechanic doesn't mean that a
person can work on 'anything'. There are specialized shops for
'transmissions', 'electrical', 'tires', 'exhaust', 'suspension',
'frame straightening', 'body shops' and MANY others. A mechanic that
knows how to work on a 'late model' car blindfolded, might 'scratch
his or her head' if presented with a '39 Ford Coupe. Conversely, the
person that can completely 'tear down' the " 1939 Coupe" to it's
last nut and bolt, then reassemble it, maybe even better than new,
would likely be totally lost with today's computerized, 'fly by
wire' cars. And let's not even mention 'Tesla'. AND, there's
the 'experience' factor. No matter what a persons field of
expertise, not all situations may have been covered in training, or
a tech may not have crossed paths with a particular symptom, or be
able to relate one symptom to a cause. Having said
that, it's not realistic to assume that ANY repair shop can handle
ANY repair / restoration / refurb. Everyone has their 'specialty' /
'area of interest', so when choosing a shop to have your 'vintage
stereo unit' brought back to life, call / contact quite a few, to
'feel them out' and make your own determination as to who you feel
is the best candidate to handle the restoration of your valuable,
vintage audio gear.

"Dear Oak Tree Enterprises: I am writing to thank you for putting on your
website reference to them in Costa
Mesa, California, as a place where one might obtain reel-to-reel
recorder repair and refurbishment. I picked up my vintage Akai GX-260D
yesterday (it weighs a ton) from them; and, am currently listening to
one of my pre-recorded tapes Dolby tapes with great pleasure. I must
mention George" (from Bulgaria) who was the technician who repaired my
deck. Despite his accent it was clear I was speaking with a person with
a passion for keeping such equipment operational. My deck has never run
better (it was obtained used in the early '80s). I would have never
found them had it not been for your professionalism in placing their
contact information on your website. Thank you again. Sincerely, John

A
note about restorations / refurbishments / repairs to 'vintage
electronics' (or anything for that matter);
Firstly, a 40+ year old unit
likely doesn't need "repaired". It NEEDS a complete refurbishment /
restoration. Most 'vintage electronics' has likely 'sat around' in
some closet, basement, crawlspace, attic etc for the last 20+ years.
In some rare instances, the gear may never even been taken out of
the box since new. This is NOT a 'good thing'. Lot's of vintage gear
have 'lubes' and 'rubber parts' in them. Lubes stop being "lubes"
and start becoming 'glues'. Rubber can do a number of things with
time. It can 'glaze over' (think the pencil eraser you put in a
drawer, then a year or two later, it's all 'slick' and simply glides
across the paper without erasing anything), it can harden (and in
the case of a belt may permanently take on the shape of the pulleys
it's going around in a state of 'atrophy'), it can crack /
disintegrate, or depending on how it was originally vulcanized, it
can revert back to it's natural state of 'liquid goo' leaving a 'tar
like' substance on everything it has touched inside or on the unit.
While not as prevalent of an issue, capacitors will be 'dried up' to
a degree or may have leaked in a number of places as well. Heaven
forbid there were any sort of 'batteries' in the unit (think 'memory
back-up for tuners), as they will likely have leaked out (not a
common issue, as few units will have need for batteries). Thus we
want technicians to be speaking in terms of 'restoration / full
refurbishment' instead of 'repair'. You don't pull a '57 Chevy out
of a barn after sitting for the last 30 days with the intention of
'repairing' it for a trip across the country tomorrow. You "RESTORE"
/ "Refurbish" it!
Secondly, just being a 'repair' shop or electronics
technician or having a 'double E' doesn't make one person an
'expert' in ALL things electronics. In medicine you have a
"GP", but he will have a rolodex of 'Specialists' to refer to for
specific tasks that are 'above is station / comfort zone'. Some of
those "Specialists", may have even more 'Specialized' experts to
refer to. Just being an auto-mechanic doesn't mean that a
person can work on 'anything'. There are specialized shops for
'transmissions', 'electrical', 'tires', 'exhaust', 'suspension',
'frame straightening', 'body shops' and MANY others. A mechanic that
knows how to work on a 'late model' car blindfolded, might 'scratch
his or her head' if presented with a '39 Ford Coupe. Conversely, the
person that can completely 'tear down' the " 1939 Coupe" to it's
last nut and bolt, then reassemble it, maybe even better than new,
would likely be totally lost with today's computerized, 'fly by
wire' cars. And let's not even mention 'Tesla'. Having said
that, it's not realistic to assume that ANY repair shop can handle
ANY repair / restoration / refurb. Everyone has their 'specialty' /
'area of interest', so when choosing a shop to have your 'vintage
stereo unit' brought back to life, call / contact quite a few, to
'feel them out' and make your own determination as to who you feel
is the best candidate to handle the restoration of your valuable,
vintage audio gear.
Hope this info helps. Keep checking as we never know from day to day
what will arrive. Good luck.
PS. The above contacts are merely contacts we have amassed. You would
need to contact them directly with your needs. They may or may not
choose to take on your project based on many factors. We are not
endorsing their services in any manner and any business you choose to
pursue with any of them is at your risk / choice.
If you are one of the above listed companies and want
to modify your listing, or to be added to a category change, categories,
or be removed from the page completely, feel free to contact us.
If you would like your repair facility listed and feel it would be a
'good fit' for the page, feel free to contact us.
One of the most important aspects to sending a unit off for
repair or restoration, is to POSITIVELY INSURE that it has been packed sufficiently &
appropriately for safe transit. You must also inquire as to the ability of the
business that repairs / restores the unit to do the same. This cannot be
assumed. Even professional packaging companies may have 'new hires' that are not
experienced in packing, 'high-mass / fragile' electronics for safe transit, so
you must ask detailed questions as to the packing methods that will be utilized
and ascertain that they will be sufficient.
While transit damaged units are great for our
parts business, almost all damage to shipments is due to inadequate packaging.
They are not making most of these vintage units anymore, and it's a real shame
when we loose another piece, un-necessarily to unprofessional packing. You know
it's going to get 'rough handling', dropped, kicked, ran over, shot at, and
probably involved in a F5 tornado somewhere along the way,
SO PACK IT THAT WAY!
