60.0. "Who Repairs These Gizmos?" by CHEFS::JONES (John Allen Jones - Working with BT) Tue Nov 22 1988 05:45

    I have a malfunctioning audio component and need some external help
    to put it right.  I am looking for references (ideally in the Reading
    area) to individuals (or companies) who seem knowledgeable and yet
    are NOT a rip-off.
    
    My problem is a decade old reel-to-reel tape unit (Sony TC640) that
    still gets a lot of use EXCEPT that I seem to have lost erase bias
    from one channel.  THAT'S a problem I can't ignore....  Can anyone
    help?						John

    While we're at, I have one faint channel on an Akai 4000 tape deck
    (reel to reel; all the home recording enthusiasts use 'em!).
    
    Anyone fancy fixing it, or know a man who can?

    I have a service manual and repaired mine OK - mail me if you'd
    like me to take a look.

60.3Fixed, At Last....CHEFS::JONESJohn Allen Jones - Working with BTMon Feb 27 1989 11:519
    I finally got the Sony reel-to-reel unit fixed at a shop in Reading.
    For those with similar problems, it was:
    
    		Winter Sound and Vision
    		75 Mount Pleasant
    
    		phone - 872000
    
    The work was done on-time and at reasonable cost.
