If you want a truly honest person that has fantastic skills with repairs and also the ability for testing reproducers simply don't waste your time trying to contact anyone else bare Steve. I had an Edison Opera with a damaged reproducer and hated the sound. This reproducer needed some very delicate repairs which Steve made a fantastic job of he also fitted a new stylus and completely overhauled this Diamond A reproducer. I couldn't of hoped for anything better and it plays brilliantly I now hear sounds that I could never hear before. I am from New Zealand and it was a big decision to send the Diamond A reproducer out side New Zealand in case I never got it back as I don't know where to find another one. At a time when there are so many people trying to rip you off in some way it is a big decision sending any part half way around the world for repairs and knowing if this part goes missing the machine will be shelved. But when you find the right person I feel you are obliged to tell other collectors. Once I had emailed Steve a few times it wasn't a hard decision to send it away. In fact I have sent an array of reproducers over for Steve to repair and all arrive back like new. Steve has gone to a lot of trouble and time to help me which I appreciate very much. This is one person that I have a great deal of respect for I would trust Steve with my complete collection or anything for that matter and know it was safe. This is my first email to the group When I read this request I had to reply for two reasons one I have been in this position myself with who would have the skills to make a good job. 2nd but Most importantly for me was who could I trust as I am just so far away from USA Steve has helped bring so many of my machines back to life other wise they would still be un playable. If I wasn't so thrilled with everything Steve has done for me I would never email the group.

He has done, for us, a Diamond A, a couple of O's, N, C's....I can't even remember what else. He is an excellent technician and even better person. I know there are others, however Steve is the only person we have dealt with and trusted so far. He fixed a DD reproducer for us, installing one of those great Bogantz diaphragms, and made listening to our A250 enjoyable.
