Warranty:
The audio equipment we offer is mostly vintage equipment 40 years old or older. Each unit is carefully inspected, professionally cleaned, and extensively tested before being offered for sale.

Despite this careful inspection, a defect may occur on arrival or after some time. Due to the age of the equipment, such malfunctions can arise unexpectedly and are beyond our control.

For this reason we cannot offer any warranty on vintage equipment. We understand this may be inconvenient and we believe it is important to be transparent and honest about it. Of course, we do our utmost to deliver each unit in as good a condition as possible.

We pack our products very carefully to minimize the chance of transport damage.
