Hello.

My name is Simon, and I’m based in West Cornwall.

I originally trained in the early 1980’s as a repair / service engineer for Radio , Audio, TV and Video.

After a few years, running my own business and shop, it was becoming clear to me that to continue to make a living servicing domestic brown goods was not going to be possible, so I decided to leave the trade whilst I was still young and re train as an electrician.

My love of electronics and vintage gear has remained with me, and so I was always undertaking repairs and restorations in my spare time.

I’ve been repairing HiFi Amps for a number of years for a local HiFi dealer, who has now retired, so I have some spare capacity.

I’m happy to accept radio, audio and CRT televisions up to the 1980’s for repair and restoration. Assessments and fixed quotes are currently free. No repair - No charge and I offer a 12 Month guarantee on work carried out.

Items can be couriered, shipped or brought in person.

Please contact me through Private Message here, or through my Website. - www.vintagetechhospital.co.uk.

Many thanks.
