Peter Completely went thru my KWM-2 and made it come to life. Cosmetics were done, alignmnent, some new knobs and some issues that were very difficult to find. Quick work and I could not be happier.

MY 32S-3 IS LIKE NEW
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
My 32S-3 was a pretty mediocre piece of gear and I shipped it to Peter Wittenberg. He went through it and found a number of problems. To make a long story short, because of him I now have a 32S-3 that looks and operates like new! Fantastic job and highly recommended!!

Collins 75S-1 Restoration
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
|
Peter is really great. My eBay auction Collins 75S-1 needed a complete makeover. By the time Peter delivered the finished restoration, I had a nearly "new in box" 1959 receiver experience. Without dedicated restoration experts like Peter, none of these classics would survive to be enjoyed by future generations. Bravo!

Fantastic!

I am extremely pleased with Peter and his company. He recently completed refurbishing my 30L1. At each step of the way, Peter was in touch with me, both by email and telphone, to advise me of his progress and to suggest remedies to repair the unit. He sends a detailed report of everything he did, including repairs completed, testing of the amp, and suggestions for a longer life of the unit. His labor charges are reasonable. I would have no compunction of using Peter's service in the future and highly recommend him.

Great Experience
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|

I found Peter during web search for S-line equipment. We spoke on the phone, and he offered a ton of useful information. Ultimately I decided on purchase of re-furbished S-line gear, including 30L1. Peter kept me informed on his selection of gear and his progress during repair & test, and suggested a reliable shipper. Equipment received in very good condition, well packed. The mechanicals and visual appearance FB. Had some initial 30L1 setup challenges -- one of the 811's had succumbed to shipment. Peter shipped out replacement set of 811A's. The 30L1 is now behaving very well. Operating the rig is a pleasure. It is setup as Xceiver [32S3, 75S3] and I am getting FB "Collins quality audio" reports!. During all of this, Peter was very helpful with telephone conversations and email exchanges. I would recommend Peter to any Ham needing Collins repair, or wanting to purchase similar equipment. 73's

Great Site

I have known and used Peter for several years now and find that his work is thorough and his response is more than adequate. He goes the "extra mile" to ensure that his client's needs are completely satisfied. If you are looking for work to be done to your Collins radio gear I have no reservations about recommending Peter.

A Class Act!!
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
Competent, Professional, Friendly and Reasonably Priced and Timely!! Very helpful when it comes to common sense approach to the issue of rebuild/refurb versus repair.Honest appraisal designed to protect and preserve great equipment, and candid evaluations of cost versus benefit.
An excellent experience: I received my KWM-2 in superb condition and made new friends! What more could you ask? Highly favored and Highly recommended!
