As we’ve stated earlier on what used to be Twitter – Now a one syllable circle jerk – With the orange monkey re-elected, we will stop all service of US products. This will affect any manufacture from 2025 and on, until the land of stupid recovers.

This is just an added measure to our already existing policy – “If you’re pro Trump*, we’re not fixing your shit”. We run a strict ANTI-FASCIST shop here. Cheers.

* Putin, Netanyahu or any obvious fucktard**

Not sure if you will be affected? Besides preparing for the zombie apocalypse, you could read the Wiki on US brands here:

** like …say, Jack O’Donnell or Uli Behringer

Here’s the thing. It’s a sad fact that a lot of our customers have a loose relationship with bills and money. Less than half of you pay up in a timely fashion. These late payments are crippling our business. Parts orders have to wait until liquidity is sufficient. Lead times get longer for everyone. We get to serve less clients.

If you’re in that group of economically challenged individuals, see if you can change your priorities if you want us to stay in business. (If you can’t afford to pay, that is fine too, you just don’t get to use our services.)

Oh, and pick up your instruments when they’re serviced. We have at least 15 items ready for pickup now, some of which have been here for more than a year. We can not afford to be a free storage facility. Come Q1 2025, we will be disposing of unclaimed instruments. Wheter we then also shut down the repair shop, is up to you.

We´ll be open 10:00 – 16:00 starting August 20th.

Please call in advance to make sure we’re available – And pretty please, do not call at night or in the weekends.

Note that we do take synth repair requests again, but within a limited range due to the ever increasing parts shortage.

The repair shop will be closed during summer holidays.

Last possible date for handing in gear to be fixed before the holidays will be June 21st. We do not have the dates for when the shop will be closed for holidays, but it will be a significant amount of weeks, probably Most of July and August.

In an attempt to save the repair shop, and to get a more focused traffic, we’ll be increasing our prices on repair services starting June 1st. New prices are

• Guitar effects: NOK 800,- / hour + MVA
• Guitars and guitar amplifiers: NOK 1200,- / hour + MVA
• Outboard: NOK 1400,- / hour + MVA
• Synthesizers: NOK 1400,- / hour + MVA

Minimum fee, any service: 400 + MVA.
Also, there will be a small fee for each invoice sendt to handle accountant costs. (NOK 20,- + MVA). Heavy objects such as speakers and transformers will ad a postage fee on import when not stocked (Usually between NOK 170 and 400,- + MVA).

Vendors and service partners will receive their usual discounts. Orders already in will be processed with the old prices. Cheers.

We served more than 500 amps and instruments in 2023 – We aim to surpass that in 2024. However – this first week is going to be slow, as we’re counting stock and wait for new parts.

Remember to call in advance to see if we’re in and wheter we will accept your item. Also, our parking space is buried in snow.

For those nervous of the New Years fire in the neighbourhood, our shop is untouched. For those who wonder if their item has been fixed during the holidays – The answer lies in “holidays”.

We’re in the last week of taking orders for 2023, as we want this space empty, bright and clean for 2024. Please note the following dealines:

DEC 8th: Last chance to hand in any item for repair in 2023

DEC 18th: Last chance to pick up anything before the holidays

JAN 3rd: First regular business day in 2024 for the repair shop

Visits or pickups during the holidays will not be possible.

For studio services, contact NAG Records or Zensor ANS.

Flu ridden mind calls for a somewhat random access to – and slow tempo at – the bench, while we’re receiving truck loads of gear to be asessed and fixed before the holidays. We’re likely to close for orders week 2 of December so we can get this place clean for New Years. Stay healthy and warm – and wash yer hands.
