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.

For those who get the 404 at the end, here’s the accompanying lullaby:

For handing in repairs, the last chance will be Monday 12th of June.

Last chance of pickup will be Thursday 29th of June. Items not collected prior, will be locked in for the duration of the summer holidays.

The Locomofon web site will be particularly odd and unreliable sun 9 . – mon 10. of april 2023. We’re upgrading and will be back shortly.

The repair shop is closed, the studio is open regular hours. See you on the other side.

We’re giving a short speach on guitar amplifier repair for Kulturrom. The repair shop will be closed 13.03 – 14.03/23.

We’re closing the repair shop for holidays July 1st – August 19th.

Meanwhile we’re taking no new orders. Pickup by apointment only.

The studio is under maintenance and will reopen in September with a new live boot and improved acoustics.

There will be some changes starting may 1st:

• The studio and repair shop splits up to make space for more traffic. We’re still at the same floor, but check both door bells if no one answers.
• Our rates increase to meet the growing prices and market instability – We’ll be billing NOK 1200 + MVA / hour for general repairs – minimum fee of NOK 400,- (600,- + MVA / 200,- for guitar effect boxes) from now on.
• Our long neglected paint- and mechanics shop move to the same address, so there will be a new batch of FX-pedals coming.
