Applying technical skill and patience in creating the best sounding antique phonograph reproducers since 2001

Why I believe I'm different:

I'm an obsessive perfectionist.  All repairs and restorations performed in order to PRESERVE the character and originality of the machine, not make it look brand new.  

The Fenman said it best:  I am “not performing a master class in shiny wood finishes, satisfying though that would be.”  I am “RESTORING AN ANTIQUE to what it WOULD LOOK LIKE had it been well looked after.  Not to how it looked when it was new and certainly not to some sort of super-shiny fantasy state that rivals the paintwork on a Rolls Royce!  If your friends, on seeing your work, say, ‘that’s in nice condition’, then you’ve succeeded: if they say ‘you’ve made a good job of restoring that’ - you’ve failed - ‘cos they shouldn’t be able to tell that it’s been restored.”  

There is a small percentage of people who share and appreciate my position and ideology on restoration, and I am here to assist them.
