Special note on shipping:



Please read this before shipping synthesizers for service.


Due to the unreliability of shipping companies, I cannot be responsible for loss or damage to synthesizers that are shipped for service, or that are shipped back to the customer. All damage and loss claims are solely the responsibility of the customer. If you are uncomfortable with this, by all means DO NOT ship your synth for repair-- you're better off seeking local tech support.



Rates:

Bench time/labor: $60/hour

Parts: cost + 10%

Shipping: actual cost*


*Return shipping is via Fedex Ground (the least expensive, relatively reliable method I've found). Insurance is mandatory. Synth will be returned in the same box & packaging as it was received.

Synths will be tested upon receipt to document original condition. Afterwards you will be contacted via email with an estimate of repair time, procedure & cost. No work will be done without your permission. Estimates are in good faith. If actual repairs exceed the estimate, you will be contacted for approval.



RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Every synth should receive the following:

--battery check & replacement if needed

--cleaning of key contacts

--cleaning of pots & switches

--replacement of power supply capacitors

--clean out dust, cat hair, food, etc

--calibration & testing

Recommended Maintenance charge: average $100 to $200 (for example, a Pro-One would be $100 a Prophet 5 would be $150). I've owned & serviced Sequential Circuits synthesizers since the early eighties my approach is before all else, do no harm. I treat these devices & my customers with the respect they deserve.
