25.01.2022 So the boss broke down on Monday and had to go to the shop for repairs.... Unfortunately one handed repair procedures will be a little slower going...

25.01.2022 So this our last week on before we head off to the beach and try and make the most of the rest of this crazy year. Get in touch before Saturday 2pm if you need us. Otherwise we will be back all relaxed and happy as Larry next year to try this thing again.

25.01.2022 As a community we are all feeling the effects of the COVID-19 situation, and undoubtedly its going to be a very tough time for the music industry as a whole. As a small locally run business, and with our main priority being to keep our staff and customers safe and well as well as doing our bit to try and slow the curve, we have had to re-think and revise our current structure. We have decided to keep the workshop open for now with skeleton staff and very thorough cleaning of... surfaces, equipment and tools. We welcome our customers wishing to collect or drop-off any repairs, but please be aware that there will be measures and policies in place to restrict contact personal and also with the handing over of goods. If you do wish to visit us, please give us a call first so that we know to expect you. We will be revising our policies constantly as more information becomes available but please know that we are working as hard as we can to prepare for a variety of contingencies, and are dedicated to keeping our business running in some capacity during this time.

01.01.2022 This Mitsubishi X10 Vertical Music Centre was a genius idea from the early 80s to mount the turntable vertically with linear tracking. Sounds OK, looks friggin cool and fits into places where you normally wouldnt be able to fit a turntable. Also the cat cant sleep on it.
