The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am wondering who the real hard-core audiophiles use to have their Orthophonic reproducers rebuilt.
There are many fantastic repairmen/restorers on this forum, but who has the most expertise in this area?
Please do not post negative comments about any individual repairmen here!
If you feel so compelled, you can pm about your negative experience.

Thank you,
Gene

Peter Wall in San Francisco is the best I know of. Just be aware that others share that view and that he can sometimes get backed up, so some patience may be required.

Has anyone used Walt Sommers for Ortho rebuilds ?

yes, I personally think his work is the best (he's rebuilt several of mine), but like others, he can at times be difficult to reach.
