Galaxy GT 550 and PS Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
For personal reasons I bought a Galaxy GT 550 and PS. When they arrived the rig worked but I knew the rig needed some repairs. I sent the rig and PS to Mike. When they arrived Mike sent me an email stating there were 17 rigs in line before my Galaxy. A couple of weeks later Mike sent me another email stating my Galaxy was next in line. A couple of days later Mike emailed me stating my Galaxy and PS were ready to ship. In the email Mike gave me a detailed summary of what he found and the parts that were replaced. All caps were replaced and several resistors were way out of tolerance and some were open. The relays, tube sockets, tube pins, switches, etc were cleaned. Moving parts were lubed. He said he did a complete alignment and a 24 hour burn in. He said the Galaxy was now working as well as it did when new. When it arrived I was amazed. With my HP signal generator I can hear a -130 dB signal and I get 250+ watts output. After a warm up the rig is very stable. I highly recommend Mike. It is amazing that anyone has the knowledge to repair rigs that are more than 50 years old as long as newer rigs.

Top Marks Time Owned: N.A.
I bought an Eddystone EC-10 receiver knowing it didn't work - actually completely dead. I tried a couple of remedies myself, to no avail. So when George said bring it on down, I did just that.

He put it on the bench, found the problem and fixed it in no time at all. (An open cap in the IF that I would never have found.) It was a pleasure and an education watching him troubleshoot.

George is a degreed electronics engineer, now retired, and is now devoting himself to fixing radio gear. He has all the test gear needed for anything radio - from DC to daylight.

Very reasonable rates; I wanted to pay him more than he asked for the repair, but he wouldn't hear of it. I enjoyed our visit enormously and look forward to visiting again.

Amp Repair Time Owned: N.A.
I've had an Emtron DX-2 for about a year and have had no problems until last week, suddenly wouldn't tune up on 160m, called George who owns the business, told him my problem, he said bring it out, he meant the next day, he was in the middle of a big project, but I misunderstood and showed up that afternoon. He took it in anyway and put it on the bench, found the problem, repaired it and sent me on my way.
I'm a happy camper.
He can fix most any amp, radios too, if your in need give him a call 434-237-8255
