Analog repair & restoration, done right.
The Garage is our bench for analog audio gear — tape machines, cassette decks, turntables, and outboard. We troubleshoot, service, recalibrate, and fully restore the machines that deserve some TLC.
What we work on.
From pro reel-to-reel decks to the turntable that's been in the family for decades — a few of the things that land on our bench:
Tape machines & decks
Reel-to-reel, multitrack & cassette — Teac, Tascam, Otari, Fostex, Sony, Revox, Nagra.
Turntables
Belt-drive & direct-drive — Technics, Pioneer, and beyond.
Microphones
Dynamic, condenser & ribbon mics — diagnostics, re-wiring, and repairs.
Outboard & consumer audio
EQs, preamps, compressors, receivers, and hi-fi separates.

Inside a restoration.
We don’t just get gear running again — we bring it back to spec and measure to prove it, whatever’s on the bench. Take this Tascam 34B: here’s its calibrated frequency response across all four channels, shown at both of the deck’s tape speeds — dialed in as close to the machine’s original spec as it gets:
Calibrated to a professional 355 nWb/m reference on fresh ATR Master Tape. That same measure-and-verify rigor goes into every job that crosses the bench — turntables, cassette decks, mics, and outboard equipment alike. This is the difference between gear that just runs and gear that truly performs.
