  Great group of guys. Very knowledgeable. Building is a bit hard to find due to location being in the back of a building

  Not impressed. I brought a late '80's Korg in to be evaluated for repair. They took over 2 weeks to look at it, charged me $135.00 and then informed me that it needed a new motherboard, which is no longer available - no other information, and they claimed that it was unrepairable. I opened it up once I got it home, and the spot that needed a repair was obvious. I'm not an electronics wiz, but I'm not impressed since the part that needed repairing was obvious once I opened the keyboard up - and was able to be fixed with one trip to micro center, a dental pick and 409 /contact cleaner and q-tips in about 20 minutes. A small fix to get the keyboard working again. I wouldn't trust their evaluation or abilities with repair after seeing their version of ''total loss' could be fixed with 409 or contact cleaner. I've since had it looked at by Out of Band Development in Johnstown Ohio just to make sure that everything was ok, and apparently the electronic chips, capacitors and connectors on the board are easy to find online, and simple to repair. They repaired my stuck keys and cleaned up the rest of the keyboard just in case. I would avoid if at all possible.

  They know what they are doing and if you need something done fast they can do it. There is a fee for jumping the line to be next on the bench, but it's reasonable. They stand behind their work and have gotten me out of a jam more than once. Will be back.

  I dropped off a vintage MAESTRO octave box to be evaluated and was told it was a 33 dollar charge to open it up and they wouldn't touch it without contacting me first. I gladly paid and was told I would receive a call before being operated on so i could still send it back to the person I had just bought it from online. Instead of doing so they spent 1 hours worth of labor and parts into it fixing it which came to a total of 105 dollars. Now I am forced to pay to receive my pedal back nonreturnable, or pay the additional hours cost (so 210) to put the original parts back in and still run the chance of not being able to send it back. so in conclusion my vintage 500 dollar pedal now has 105 in repairs on it, has no chance of being returned and the pedal doesn't even work that great to begin with so now I am just out 605 on a pedal ill probably never even use.
