We’re starting of 2022 with twin benches running. If you want to come by for pickup or delivery, make sure you’re not infectious and wear a face mask.

See Opening hours Winter 2021 for further details.

Until the Holidays, we’ll be sticking to the autumn opening hours:

• 10 – 16 Monday & Tuesday
• 10 – 16 Thursday & Friday

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

Note that we do not take general synth repair requests at this time.

April 1st – Pausing vintage synth repairs

Due to Covid-related setbacks, 12 Gauge Microphones will be retiring all dealer contracts and arrange for direct sales only. We’re grateful for the ride so far and wish Brad Martin all the best for his future endeavours.

This also means all orders for 12 Gauge Microphones are cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We’ll be closing the repair shop July 1st until August 9th. Questions during vacation should preferably come to us through e-mail. Enjoy your summer.

The recording studio will be reserved for our own projects the same period.

We’ve received a few custom orders that will take most of our capacity in June 2021. This means we’re taking a pause in synth repairs, and for anything else, please ask for an apointment in advance.

Big thanks to our friends who have filled up our repair shop – It’s been quiet for too long, but we made it through the 197 days Oslo lock down. Big up to Dum Dum Boys, Hedvig Mollestad, Lindstrøm, David Wallumrød, Bugge Wesseltoft, Todd Terje, Dan Tyler, Deluxe Music and Christian Wibe in particular, for helping us survive 2020 and its aftermath.

You absolutely rock.

We’ll be closed for business Friday April 30th, May 10th, 13th, 17th, 24th and 26th.

Also, due to a three week school quarantine, now happily ended, every service in the repair shop has suffered delays accordingly. Please show patience.

We try to keep regular hours as far as Covid allows, work days 10:00 – 16:00. Call in advance to make an appointment and to see that we’re in.

• NO VISITORS TO ENTER THE REPAIR SHOP.
  Customers will have to keep their distance and wait outside the door.
• All visitors must use the hand disinfectant station in the hallway.
• Please wear a face mask at all times. Funny hats are encouraged.

And pretty please, do limit phone calls and messages to 10:00 – 16:00. E-mail is answered during work days only. As a rule, we do not respond to requests by social media, and calls after midnight will only block your number.

Stay safe.

Also, remember https://locomofon.no/2018/08/08/no-more-big-old-synths-please/

Seeing Oslo going back into red alert, we’re forced to take some precautions.

• Use the disinfectant in the hallway before you enter the staircase
• Stay outside the workshop while we collect or hand out your item
• Wear a face mask at all times while visiting
• Pickup and delivery is restricted to Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 10:00 – 15:00. Pro and BTB customers 10:00 – 16:00 Monday – Friday.

If you have any symptoms even remotely associated with this plague, please wait until they subside fully before you come by. Also note that repair takes longer these days, as all our suppliers suffers from the situation. Please be patient. Thank you.

Keeping your studio plugged in and powered on at all times? Now’s that time of the year when you really shouldn’t. Power off and disconnect whatever you love from the mains. Invest in power conditioners and surge protection.

Really need to work while Big Mother shows its discontent with humanity? A quick and cheap fix is the Brennenstuhl Überspannungsschutzadapter. We’re not saying this to be nice, its just to prevent the annual rush of dead MOTU, RME and Lynx cards which seems a truly unnecessary tradition. (And no, we still do not service anything AVID.)

We’ll be closed for summer vacation June 30th – August 6th.

If you need to use your gear during this time, make sure you come by and pick it up quickly.
