Morning Bob
Very merry Christmas to you.
Well we got to see the Dansette this morning and my husband was rendered speechless. He was very emotional.
What a magnificent machine lovingly restored. Cannot thank you enough.
His best present ever.
Enjoy your day.
Kindest regards

A incredibly thoughtful message from Paul...
Hi Bob,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the restoration on my Dansette Hi Fi. I have had it back for a week now, and it looks and sounds amazing. This Dansette had initially belonged to my parents (it was purchased in 1962) but prior to your restoration had been stored in a loft for approx. 30 years. It looked tired, and there was a bit of physical damage. I was also not sure whether it would actually work. When I initially contacted you, your enthusiasm, and knowledge convinced me that using Tutti Audio, was definitely the way to go. Your quotes, reports, photographs and communication throughout the restoration are absolutely first class. Following your restoration the Dansette looks like “new”, but thanks to your advice does not look “over restored”. You have kept the providence of this 60 year old Dansette intact. The sound is characterful, crisp and clear, and is exactly as I recall it from the late 60s early 70s.The sound of the record handling , the Illuminated Dansette logo, the light (and heat) from the valves also contribute to the enjoyment of the Dansette. I have rediscovered my 70s and 80s vinyl,and the enjoyment of these old lps is further enhanced by being able to link to modern hifi through your excellent Bridgit Box.
Again thanks for a superb restoration
Best Regards

A lovely, tearful message from Ernie...
Hi Bob,
I just wanted to confirm safe receipt of the beautiful Dansette.
I'm almost overcome with tears how wonderful it is.
I can't thank you enough. You've done an amazing job. It was so wonderfully packaged.
It has sat beautifully on the teak legs on my oak floor and I'm currently listening to an old folk compilation.
Here's to many years of Dansette action!
With many best wishes and regards
Ernie

A very thoughful message from Sheena...
Hi Bob,
Just to let you know I have received my Dansette and am absolutely over the moon with it. I waited until my partner got home from work to unwrap it although I could hardly sleep with excitement. It arrived fairly early this morning so I was able to get a little sleep after my nightshift.
I must compliment you on the outstanding service you have provided throughout; from sourcing the player to the refurbishment , packaging, and excellent communications. I spent a good few minutes just touching the player as I find its a very tactile piece of kit.
We had already decided on the album of choice, and even though it wasn't staying true to the era, we used to play it on the Dansette in 1973 when it came out. Its my favourite album of all time and hearing it played as it was all those years ago gave me a huge rush of nostalgia, and a longing for the seemingly uncomplicated life I lived back then. Oh the album is Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon in case you were wondering. It just sounds sublime, and watching the mechanics in action as I did all those years ago still fascinates me. To say I am delighted really is an understatement.
All that remains for me to do is congratulate you on your craftsmanship, and obvious dedication to keep such an important piece of musical history alive. Please feel free to use any parts of our communications if you would like to use any as a testimonial.
Thank you so much Bob, you have made a Durham lass very happy.
Kindest regards and best wishes for the future

A lovely thank you card arrived today (Friday 7th August 2020) from Alan who is clearly pleased with his Dansette restoration and newly acquired Bridgit Box…
Hi Bob,
Thanks for all your hard work in restoring my Dansette HiFi it really looks amazing, sounds amazing – just out of this world. As for the Bridgit Box that is really good as well. It paired up with my mini Hifi system. The volume on this is really good. Thank you once again for a wonderful restoration.
All the best. Alan M

A lovely message recently arrived from Nicola in Southampton. Clearly delighted with her Turquoise Dansette Bermuda...
Hi Bob,
Dansette arrived this morning. We’ve just had a surprise opening. We love it. It looks amazing - what an iconic piece of design. Thank you. Something we will treasure and appreciate for a long time to come. We have some framed vinyl that will go up on the walls behind it so it will be a stunning piece when everything is up in place.
It’s been a sadly rare these days, outstanding, personal purchasing experience! The communication has been second to none. It’s heartwarming to come across someone who clearly takes pride in his work and does it with passion. That really comes across!
Many thanks again
Nicola

Guenther, a client in The Netherlands has today taken delivery of his beautiful Dansette HiFi MKII. Originally made on the 21st August 1964 it was recently sourced to order and restored by yours truly. You could say Guenther is very happy with his vintage acquisition...
Dear Bob,
As scheduled I received your parcel in the afternoon and am really, really proud of this wonderful Dansette (please see photo): everything works as it should, sound is excellent, perfect!
Thanks for all your efforts, the search, the restauration and all the care around! I will recommend you further in any instance. It was a great pleasure to go that process with you and I wish you all the best for the upcoming restaurations and I do hope that after all this Corona problems I will have the chance to visit again Cornwall and will give you a ring to meet and thank you personally.
Stay safe and all the best,
Guenther

It's been a very good experience to purchase a vintage record player from you so far. Javier and I are now learning to use it, we might have questions for you in the future. :)) Thanks again, I'll make sure to put a comment on your Facebook page (or wherever you would like me to!) in the near future!
