David Carey Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 Take it to Chris @ Kimil Electronics 220 Georges River Road, Croydon Park New South Wales 2133 (02) 9799 3019 Highly skilled (many of the high end store send equipment to him for repair), and his costs are very reasoable. If it can be fixed, he can fix it. A deposit of $50 is required for assessment and quote, that comes off the price of the repair. Open Tuesday to Friday. 2
Vince of Oz Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 Just recently bought a stack of Luxman gear. At the last minute they included said cassette deck (with another ) stating it was chewing up tapes. Said I could take it and bin it if I wanted to. Looks to have been worked on. Who should I have a look at it please and give me a honest price if it is repairable? The missus has a few tapes laying around and I would get this unit fixed for her. I am situated in the north east Green Wedge area. TIA
Steff Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 There's a gentleman up there in Plenty who fixes and sells turntables and cassette decks. PM me for (m). 1

Repaired fairly well a turntable but. Seems to be his specialty. Considering a guy called Jorge, but at $155 for the 1st hour .........
Dean Gale Posted March 24, 2024 Posted March 24, 2024 As I said earlier I know a savant with tape decks he will fix it in record time if you are willing to send it to him or me I will get to him and return it to you in person . It will be around $100 plus say $15 delivery . PM if you are interested he fixed a Yamaha K2000 Denon DRM-740 and a Tascam 122mkii and a Luxman K113 within 2 weeks . 1
Vince of Oz Posted March 24, 2024 Posted March 24, 2024 Does he do electronics? The problem is fast motor speed and no sound. It is not just a mechanical issue.
Dean Gale Posted March 24, 2024 Posted March 24, 2024 Yes the fast motor might be an adjustment but sometimes it can be the polyester cap that controls the motor . Anyway yes he does the only hold up would be the wait on parts whether they are belts or Mouser , Element 14 getting the caps or variable resistor out . I'm in Drouin p.m perhaps we can meet half way. I was brought up in Greensborough I thought that was ironic 1
Axl Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 @tubularbells helped to repair my Marantz cassette deck. A top bloke!
Fairchild Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Looking for any leads on a reliable technician to test and service a Technics RS-1500 reel to reel please. Melbourne area preferred but willing to ship to any location for the best person. 1
zippy2000 Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 Hi Everyone, I have an aging Nakamichi RX202, love the way it rotates (flip) the cassette instead of rotating the head for auto reverse. The deck stops working a few weeks ago ie the cassette won't spin. I am wondering if anyone can advice how to fix this or can recommend someone who can. I am based in Perth, Western Australia. Thanks in advance. Nicky
2Brix Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 hi @zippy2000 maybe flick an email to Jason, The Turntable Doctor, to ask if he deals with Nak https://turntable-doctor.com/Details.html Cheers 2B

I might open up the Naka this weekend, probably loose belt since the unit is over 20 years old. cheers, Nicky
