OK I've got a Voyager with a very simple problem but it's no longer under warranty.

I've also got an Ace Tone Top 9 combo organ (1968) with very complex problems and I imagine probably no longer under warranty.

Steve is the man but from what I know he is super busy with another business and finds it hard to fit stuff in now.

Hopefully he can help.

I have had some work done by Watson Electronics in Brisbane on a Trident and was happy with the work . Maybe give then a ring and see what they can do otherwise its off to Steve in Sydney

[NYMo]

Just ring awave and find who there repairer is in Brisbane (I'm sure it will be Daryl Watson ) but for the acetone ,you will need schematics !

Thanks guys - overwhelming support for Steve as THE guy to look after vintage synths in Sydney!

I've already communicated with him and had some helpful advice before buying my Trident. Feel like it will be in good hands if there are any problems with it in the future.

I think Steve is getting out of the synth repair game for the time being and concentrating on his store. (Hopefully Steve can chime in)

What do you need done? I'm in Sydney and take on synth repair / restoration projects when I'm free.

[deepfriedd]

I have a Roland TB 303 that needs the decay pot repaired. It doesn't work when I turn it and I'm not game enough to open it..

Where is Steve's shop by the way?

It's on his website - the number

[chrisso]

Then post a link to his website instead.

[deepfriedd]

Yeah his synth repair site is down so I'd rather leave that for the time being and try and find someone else... Can anyone else recommend vintage synth repairer? As I said in a previous post my DECAY pot on my 303 is not working an needs to be fixed. Thanks

[CoolColJ]

He'll do it

You just have to call him, slot in a time so he can be there at his shop to meet you.
At least that's what he told me.

[electricsound]

if you're prepared to ship it, there's nobody i'd choose over Robin Whittle for 303 repairs..
