***We provide estimates upon request, but due to the complexity of vintage gear, diagnosing issues can take numerous hours. Vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and outboard gear often have thousands of components and potential problems, making troubleshooting a time-consuming process that requires experience and expertise. Our team takes pride in our work and strives for perfection, ensuring that every repair meets the highest standards.***
With meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the vintage electronics, our expert technicians at Synth Tailor Electronics restore the sonic charm and original character of your beloved gear, ensuring that every instrument is returned to its former glory, with a precision and care that meets the high standards of music professionals and enthusiasts alike.
**If you need an estimate before hand, please let us know when you ship us your gear or drop off your unit!**

The warranty period for repairs is 90 days from the day the invoice was sent, and covers any defects or issues with the replaced components and work done to the unit. However, if the item is damaged during shipping, you will need to file an insurance claim with the shipping/cargo carrier to cover those costs. If another issue arises that is not related to the initial repair, it may not be covered under the original warranty, and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. All shipping costs are to be covered by owner/customer, we don't cover return shipping expenses on warranty work.

Warranty on items we've sold- Warranty coverage on sold gear is valid for one year from the date of purchase, excluding shipping damages caused by carriers.
