OF ITS KIND
and
certainly London's greatest!
If
your equipment sounds wrong - come to London Sound - if we can, we'll mend it!
If not we'll advise. We do not sell new equipment, and very rarely sell
secondhand, so if we advise you to buy new, there's no profit motive!
Established and registered in 1969 by Mike Solomons. We are reliable and
secure - Mike Solomons personally owns our freehold high street shop without a
mortgage, (so we're not in rented premises or a shed in someone's
back garden - we're here to stay!). We are therefore virtually credit crunch proof!

What
do we do here at London Sound?
We
mend, service, repair, overhaul audio and hi-fi equipment. We
do not offer "quick fixes", neither are we a dealer or retailer trying
to sell you something new. We just put things right, make them work, and if possible,
we make them work like new. This can range from vintage wireless receivers from
the 1930's, right up to some of the finest hi-fi of the 90s. We do not normally
work on equipment less than ten years old - as if it is good equipment, but broke
that quickly, you can reasonably expect the manufacturers to carry out a free
or very inexpensive repair. But if they refuse, please ask us.
We
happily repair amplifiers, receivers, cassette decks, loudspeakers, record decks,
tape recorders, (reel to reel), tuners, tuner-amplifiers, and some other hi-fi,
stereo, and even mono items.
We
do not repair computer, telephone or television related products.
All
repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, in writing. Full details of the service
are found on the repairs page, but in brief, all of
our estimates are free, and we can often give a guide price by email, (londonsound@msn.com),
or telephone, (020 8868 9222 - or go to basic details
page for more information).
The
only exception to the 12 month guarantee is for repairs carried out free of charge!
What
makes and kinds of equipment do we handle? The list on the left is not comprehensive,
but should give a guide to the main types and brands handled - just look to see
if your equipment is listed, and click on the name.
Click
on any item in the lists to the left or below, to be transferred to the appropriate
"repairs" page.
Types
of hi fi stereo, audio and vintage equipment
For
list of brands please look to the left and scroll up or down
Can't
see the brand name of your equipment in the list? We may still be able to help,
as often the lesser known brands are of equipment made by well known manufacturers,
just with a different badge! Also, we are happy to consider unusual brands and
custom built equipment. All that is needed is to email write or 'phone, and we'll
be happy to advise, (contact details above).
Who
runs the service department? My name is Mike Solomons, I have been working in
this field for over 40 years, and look forward to being of service.
We
operate the Keith Monks vinyl record cleaning service using the cleaning machine
shown to the right.
If
you look closely at the photograph, it will become obvious that this is an old
machine - we have offered this service, using this machine, since 1975! It has
required servicing from time to time, but basically is, in our view, easily the
best record cleaning machine available anywhere, at any price! And at this age,
what a wonderful testament to the quality of manufacture, especially, if you consider
that when London Sound purchased it in 1975 - it was second hand!
For
further details, visit KMAL vinyl record cleaning,
where you will see details of the service, as well as our charges.
Can't
find what you're looking for? Don't worry, it's not a full list - just email us
- contact details are at Basic Information, or look first
at our "Repairs" page.
Also,
see if any of the other leaflets, or the correspondence
page will help.
