Turntables & Record Players – Servicing & Repairs
Even if you take great care of your record player, many setups may still require a service or need replacement parts at some point. Parts like the stylus and the belt naturally wear out, and the old oils and lubricants can degrade over time.
So if you’re dusting down your record collection and you discover your turntable needs a service or is in need of a repair, then get in touch and speak with an engineer… our workshop is based in Kidlington, just north of Oxford. Phone us at the workshop on 01865 375834, and speak with an engineer.
