Careful Diagnosis and Repair for Equipment Worth Keeping
One of the few Hi-Fi specialists in Shropshire with an in-house repair workshop — vintage and modern equipment, restored with care.
In-house expertise
Repairs done properly, on-site
We’re one of the few Hi-Fi specialists in Shropshire to offer genuine in-house repairs. Our experienced repair engineer diagnoses, services and restores equipment on-site — from treasured vintage amplifiers and turntables to modern components that have stopped performing as they should.
A good repair doesn’t just get the music playing again; it protects the value of equipment worth keeping and extends its life for years to come.

How our repair service works
- Inspection. We assess your equipment for a £100 inspection fee — non-refundable, but it comes off the cost of the repair if you go ahead.
- If it can’t be repaired, we may put some or all of that fee towards another item from us, depending on the value of what you choose.
- Repairs up to £100 are carried out automatically, so small jobs aren’t held up.
- Larger repairs are always discussed and agreed with you after inspection — you’re never committed to an unexpected bill.
- Turnaround. Our repair engineer is in the workshop two days a week, so a typical repair is back with you in one to two weeks — we’ll give you an honest estimate when you book it in.
- Testing. Everything is tested thoroughly before it’s returned to you.
Vintage and modern
From classic decks to current kit
Older equipment often has years of life left in it with the right attention — a service, new parts or a careful restoration. If you’ve inherited or rediscovered a system, bring it in and we’ll tell you honestly what it needs and whether it’s worth doing. We work on most makes, whether or not we stock them — if it’s worth saving, we’ll gladly look at it.
If your turntable is the culprit, remember a worn stylus can damage records as well as dull the sound — our vinyl care guide explains what to watch for.
What We Commonly Repair
- Amplifiers and receivers — transistor and valve
- Turntables and record players, from proper decks to Dansette-style portables
- CD players and cassette decks
- Loudspeakers — drivers, crossovers and surround refoaming
- General servicing of older equipment — cleaning, recapping and safety checks
What We Don’t Generally Take On
- Equipment still under manufacturer warranty — that repair belongs with the maker, and we’ll point you the right way
- Televisions, soundbars and home-cinema receivers
- Mass-market mini systems where a repair would cost more than the equipment is worth — we’ll tell you straight before any money changes hands
From the Workbench
The Kind of Work That Comes Through the Door
Vintage
A Dansette back in the family
A Dansette record player that had sat in a loft since the seventies arrived after a house clearance. A careful service of the motor and autochanger, a new stylus and some patient adjustment later, it played the family’s old singles again — and stayed in the family.
Valve Amplifiers
Jensen capacitors in a valve amplifier
The owner of a much-loved valve amplifier asked us to fit Jensen paper-in-oil coupling capacitors while it was in for a service. New valves where needed, the bias set properly, and a subtle but worthwhile lift in smoothness — exactly what a good upgrade should be.
Classic Solid State
A seventies receiver, saved
A 1970s receiver came in with a crackling volume control and one quiet channel. Contact cleaning, a handful of tired capacitors replaced and fresh dial lamps brought it back — and it went home to the same shelf it has sat on for fifty years.
