Retro Workshop, Audio Repair Services, Southampton

Today we had a very pleasant visit from Peter Carr of Southampton based audio repairs company "The Retro Workshop"
Picture

​Peter specialises in repairing vintage gear from the 1930's to 1980.

​He's happy to work on Dansette style record players, valve radios, radiograms, and everything in-between.

Picture
He's a lovely chap, and we enjoyed drinking tea, chatting all things audio (and gardening) and listening to some good music in the demo rooms.

He brought over a set of his home made amps, and they sounded very good indeed!

We think it is very important to band together all like minded people in our business and would highly recommend his services for general vintage audio repairs and maintenance.

Hello Breen, it maybe a dirty switch, so a squirt of 'Servicol super 10' inside the workings of the volume pot, will probably cure this.

Regards
Steve

I have a B&O BEO CENTER 7000 which has power but only plays LP for a few seconds before returning to stop. Cassette attempts to play but resets before playing.

Hello I have recently obtained a grundig R C 400 G B stereogram. The arm on the record player won't move onto the record. If I do it manually the record stops playing. I appear to.be missing the adjustment screw for the arm. It worked perfectly but has been moved. Any help or advice would be appreciated

Hi,
I am an owner of Ditton 22 speakers and I need advice and support to fix them.

One tweeter in left side cabinet is dead and I assume blown up.

I removed right side tweeter and connected on left side cabinet and it worked, hence the problem is in the tweeter only.

Ive read alot about people upgrading crossover with new capacitors air core inductors etc. I wanted to request you if possible, is it possible to install new crossover in my speaker cabinets and a replacement tweeter.

Can I unscrew crossover and screw in a rebuilt crossover. I don't have the knowledge, but seek your advice.

Hi I'm looking to get a 1936 Marconi radiogram restored. Is this something you can help with? The exterior is in a nice original condition so I'd like to keep it as it is. It does however need a full electrical restoration / overhaul.
