Opening hours Spring 2025

We´ll be open 10:00 – 16:00 work days, starting April 23rd.

Please call in advance to make sure we’re available – And pretty please, do not call at night or in the weekends. Email and texts are not answered outside opening hours.

Note that synth repairs are slow at the moment, somewhat due to the intense traffic you give us, and otherwise because of the difficulty in sourcing parts, now only worse in this Age of Stupid.

On the upside, we do the occasional house call and field work, should your predicament be of a less transport friendy nature.

Reminder: No orange monkey business

As we’ve stated earlier on what used to be Twitter – Now a one syllable circle jerk – With the orange monkey re-elected, we’ve stopped 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

Closed for X-mas holidays

Both the repair shop and the studio will be taking a break from DEC 20th 2024 unto JAN 6th 2025.

We will absolutely not take on any assignments nor hand out repaired items during this break. Correspondance might be ignored at whim. Phones will be frowned upon. See you on the other side.

Merry Christmas.

Reminder: Don’t buy clones

Don’t feed the leaches and parasites that prevent innovation and undermines the livelihood of creators. Don’t buy landfill. This applies to any resent “inspired” product by Warm Audio, Behringer or similar fucking fuckers. We won’t service that shit. Don’t bring it in. Don’t buy it.

Warm Audio recently added Cloud Microphones and AEA products to their list of knock offs, continuing to undermine smaller companies. Also, Stam Audio invited themselves to a piece of Tube-Techs revenue by their fresh copy of the CL-1B, thus putting themselves on our list of no-go companies/fucktards.

Don’t let them get away with this. Buy the originals.

Thanks.

You’re choking us – Pay your bills

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.
