Stopped in last Sat afternoon to get help with my old JVC turntable I'd kept from 1982 and was more than pleasantly surprised. Thought it'd be the standard 'leave it with us and we'll let you know', but instead they jumped right into diagnosing and troubleshooting. Talbot had it working perfectly 30 min later and I was back on my way to setting up old stereo system. Efficient, knowledgeable and very reasonable, I'm really happy with the service and help I received.
