Excellent Radio Service at a reasonable price!!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After many years of service my Tokyo Hy Power needed repairs. Not knowing if they were able to service it, I called Mr. Waller who told me to bring it in. I was surprised by the quick turn around. Approximately three weeks. They saved me hundreds of dollars, by not having to replace the amp. The amp is back in operation, operating as it was new out of the box. If you need good quality radio work at a reasonable price, they are the place to call.

Great tech and reasonable! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Just had Mr. Waller replace the OLED's on my FT5000MP. Turn around was a week and quality work. Saved me hundreds of dollars shipping the beast to the west coast. I highly recommend him for quality and timely work on all radio work.

Repaired my Yaesu FT-450 Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I sent in my Yaesu FT-450 for low output power. Bill had it diagnosed, and repaired in a couple of weeks. Turn around was good considering it was there during Christmas and New Year's. I had a good experience with Clairmont-Skyland and will use them again. N5GEB

FT-757GX fixed Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Sent the Yaesu I've had for 35+ years to get the receiver fixed as it had quit outright. Had it back in a few weeks. Still a bit drifty, but that is probably a 757 thing.

GREAT repair facility Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have an Alinco DX70 that I used in my 18 wheeler that would not transmit.

Contacted Bill who said they'd take a look and give me a price, so I sent it down.

Within a couple of days Bill called with diagnosis, lightning strike, and price for repair. Gave him the ok via phone. Bill said they'd send it out next day. From time I mailed to them and to my receiving it back was a week.

Radio works great. Super fast service and turn around.

I highly recommend Clairmont to anyone looking for an honest and reliable repair service! BTW, THEY repair/restore old AM/FM radios, record players, tape decks.

Great Service, Turnaround Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Contacted them, then sent my Yaesu FT857-D to them with deaf VHF/UHF receiver section. Called me within 48 hours and told me the problem with an estimate. Got the radio back within a week, and it's working great! I would recommend them to everyone!

Didn't do the repairs Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Sent my radio there and to the tune of $230 they didn't even repair it. Offered warranty repair but since they didn't repair it the first time, didn't feel they knew how to fault isolate it properly. Also, received my radio back without the wrap I had around it, with two big scratches in the bottom cover and one on the top along with significant scuffs. Certainly did not look like that when it was shipped (I take pride in my packing, evidently, they didn't). So, lost $230 Plus my $45 to ship it there and now it is off to someone I truly feel can and will properly repair it. A lot of money on an older radio but I want it working correctly. Don't think I will consider using them again.

Unsatisfactory Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Failed to repair the amplifier.

Apparently didn't notice the blown filter capacitors (which I kept) which were immediately obvious to the second technician who did successfully repair.

Charged me for replacing another part, the puzzling aspect being the second technician said he saw no signs that this part had been touched.

Best thing I can say is that the owner was very pleasant and refunded my payment after I requested a refund.

Great repair service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
When my Yaesu FT-1000 developed a transmit fault I was left with the dilemma of trying to find someone who could diagnose and repair the problem with the 20+ year old rig. Fortunately Clairmont was recommended and a quick e-mail to Bill confirmed that he would have a look and let me know what he found.
He was able to figure out what had gone wrong and source the parts to get it fully operational again. The repair was completed in good time and I am pleased to have the rig back in my shack and operating as new again. If you need a great repair service Clairmont comes highly recommended.
