scorpio333:
I've never had anything repaired there, so can't comment on that. I do go to Jerry's every now and then and I always stop in to see what he has. I've asked him questions about things that I have and he always seems like he just doesn't care. Almost like he's at the end of his rope with hearing stories or repairing things. Just have to wonder if that same attitude goes into his repair work. Not bashing the guy, just my observation that he doesn't seem to be interested in the work he does.

ST-Rider:
Just to be clear, my first choice by a long shot was to take it to Tom....but I don't think he's ready to take new work in.

I thought Vince was best known for working on turntables. I have a persistent hum in my beloved ReVox turntable so OBG had offered to drop it off at Galaxie for me. About 2 weeks later it was ready. My older son took me there to pick it up. Sure wish I would have tested it there before leaving with it. Said he had to find some of part to replace and he changed the cartridge electrical clips. $150 no tax since cash. No receipt and no bad parts were returned to me. Got it home and no improvement. He said to bring it back again but I haven't been able to and I have no confidence anyway. Sad but true

Dicky:
Maybe he'll tell you to take it to atlas as well

Bunni:
Vince worked at Atlas for a bit, he knows what it's like.  I have no idea why he'd refer peeps there.  He has asked Anders' advice on repairs from time to time.   I believe after awhile Anders started asking him to refer some of these things to VHF, rather than assist further.  The questions are less frequent now.  Shrug.

It's hard for me to explain his level of expertise, but I know it's not on par with Anders or Tom.  I've heard he's a nice guy. 

Anders would love to work on stuff, but the day job has him buried in overtime, and there is a backlog of repairs at the shop.  He can't take on new repairs unless Tom gives the OK.  Anders has no time to play with his own audio, hasn't for months and months.

Wish things could stabilize a little from our end too.
