I don t think there are many people like Adrian left in the world.

It s not just his very specific expertise, his meticulously kept shop, or decades of experience, it s that he listens to his customers, is very honest about what he does and what to expect from his work and/or the unit that you brought in for servicing. He also takes time to teach about the players and various tapes you may run into. And taking the time to teach is evidence of the very highest form of caring .

After leaving the shop with my fully serviced and calibrated TEAC 2300s, while sitting in my car trying to get myself sorted for the ride back to Burbank, Adrian came over to my passenger window to remind me to flip all the switches on the front of the player/recorder from time to time to make oxidation didn t set in.

If you have a reel to reel player, pro or otherwise, and are within a couple hours of Adrian s shop, do yourself a favor and bring your player into him for servicing. You ll get it back as good as it can be.

...but beware, Adrian s wit is sharp and subtle. Pay attention.
