Repairs and Modifications
QUARK Audio started as a repair business and still proudly offers these services to the public.
All repairs are subject to a one time diagnostic fee, after which shop rate minimum is $45 per hour for any service and/or modifications. This diagnostic fee compensates me for my time in testing the unit to find the cause of the failure, and give an estimate of what it will cost to repair if it is able to be done. On rare occasions with vintage equipment, replacement parts and counterparts are obsolete and would take considerable circuit rework that may not be worth the cost.
Full recap services are available for vintage components, on larger or in depth rebuilds a up front diagnostic fee will be charged for notation of values to be replaced, and estimate for parts cost, as well as a diagnostic of the device to find any other failed, or failure prone electrical components within.
All components will need to be carefully packed and shipped, or dropped off in person. QUARK utilizes a personal UPS account for shipping with discounted rates, a label can be provided at request and added to your final bill. For guidelines on shipping, please be sure to look over our packing tips here.
