They are made by many different companies but are not as common as they were due to digital music becoming increasingly popular. If you need to get equipment repaired there are various options available and you will need to choose the most suitable one for your needs.

Some of the older and rare machines will be valuable and it is important to get them repaired by professionals. It is also important to use original parts if possible which will maintain the equipments value. Some parts may be unavailable and there are aftermarket spares on the market that may be compatible.

Professional audio dealers can be found in many towns and cities and they may be able to carry out the repairs or recommend a specialist. Technicians can also be found by looking in the local phone book and they will advertise in specialist audio magazines. The internet is also a good place to find an engineer to fix faults with your equipment.

If you use an internet repair firm it is advisable to read through the information that is published on their web site. The sites will list the services that are offered and many online companies can supply spares and accessories. The majority of web sites will have pages of customer comments and feedback which are worth reading when you are doing your research.

If the company that made your equipment is still operating it is worth getting in touch with them as they may offer a repair service. This is the best option if your deck is old or valuable and if they do not fix equipment they may advise you on where to take it. When you need to send your item for repairs using a courier you will need to make sure it is correctly packaged and fully insured against loss or damage while it is on the road.

Some of the technicians will guarantee their work for a time based period and you should keep your payment receipt for the work. If you need repairs carrying out under these guarantees you will have to produce these receipts. If you are purchasing spare parts you should also keep purchase receipts in case you need to return or exchange an item.

When you store a machine it should be in its box when possible and stored in a clean and dry area. Get the equipment inspected and serviced by an engineer every so often to keep it in good condition.
