They refoamed and replaced a midrange in my Yamaha tower speakers I purchased in 1988. They are still going strong almost 20 years later

Absolutely astonishing work from this buisness, had no issues upon the questions I asked and was greeted well; i highly recommended anyone to have work done here. Price was perfect and the outcome on my technics cassette deck that was worked on, was spot on. Definitely will come back to fix more of my vintage electronics.
