Receiver/Amplifier Repair
Whether your beloved receiver needs a cleaning or a full restoration, Skylabs has you covered. Our technicians have the knowledge and skills needed to bring your equipment back to its original glory! Please check our FAQ page to see what equipment we do not work on.
Amplifier/ Receiver Service
The unit is working but needs a deep cleaning, a re-cap, or maybe some new lamps. We can usually give you an estimate at the time of drop-off. Rarely do we charge a bench fee for these services.
These services (above) are usually completed within 3 weeks to 1 month
Amplifier/ Receiver Repair
Skylabs charges a $100 bench fee to look over the item and diagnose the issue(s). Once we have looked over the item, we will call with a repair quote. If you approve the repair, the $100 bench fee is deducted from the final invoice amount.
We are currently running a 4 to 5-month turnaround on repairs. There is a 30-day warranty on parts purchased and installed by Skylabs.
Speaker Repair
Have a pair of vintage speakers that just don’t sound like they used to? We can make them sound amazing again!
Please check our FAQ page to see what equipment we do not work on.
Speaker re-foam prices
Speakers 8″ and larger: $70 each
Speakers 7″ and smaller: $50 each
We’d appreciate it if you would only bring in the speaker(s) needing re-foamed and not the entire speaker cabinet. There is a $50 charge (per cabinet) if the entire cabinet is brought in- we just don’t have the room. However, if you do bring in the entire speaker cabinet, we will test the other speakers in the cabinet and verify there is nothing else needing attention.
Turntable Repair
Turntable Repair
Turntable repair is usually a 2 week turnaround and usually does not require a deposit.
Skylabs can handle anything from a tune-up to a simple belt replacement or cartridge alignment. Please check our FAQ page to see what equipment we do not work on.
We have most belt sizes in stock and carry phono cartridges by Grado and Audio Technica. We install cartridges for free if you buy the cartridge from us. We can usually install a cartridge within a half-hour or a few hours depending on how busy the store is.
