Testimonials

Ok,  Wow .. Wow .. Wow.

That is one gorgeous Stereogram and you have done a fantastic job Bob, the finished unit just looks amazing … I’m sitting here with a huge smile looking at your photos, this is what I have wanted for such a long time, and to get one that has been restored and not have to worry about 50+ yr old electrics working properly is a nice peace of mind. 

The legs looks they are 10ft tall and very eye catching, maybe the 1st vinyl track I will play will be Legs by ZZ Top, I appreciate they gave you some extra work but they do look really good, it’s going to sit really well under my window .. massive thanks again for taking the time to fit them, I know it wasn’t easy. 

Your breakdown of the restoration is very well detailed. A pleasure to read. 
The courier sounds perfect, I’ll trust in your trust in them Bob, can’t have this rare piece being delivered carelessly. 
I’m so looking forward to its arrival and setting it up. It will be so well looked after and cared for. Thank you again for everything Bob, you were an absolute pleasure to deal with. 
Regards

Recently arrived is the following message from Pete in Lincolnshire following the extensive restoration and upgrade of his vintage Dansette Major Deluxe 21...

Good morning Bob

Received the Dansette back. It looks and plays amazing.

Many thanks

Pete

The professional restoration of a rather tired, damaged and molested Dansette Major has certainly found love again with its owner. So much so she has named him Dan... 

Morning Bob

Yes safely installed - it sounds so good!  I’m going to name him Dan!  Thx once again Bob for all your hard work - I love it!  I will have a think about the Bridget Box and thank you for the pictures before Dan had his magnificent makeover, both inside and out - it’s so rare these days to find someone that truly loves what they do.

Many thanks,

Kim

A truly lovely message arrived today 30th July, 2023 from Cath in Cambridgeshire...

Hi Bob, the beautiful Dansette arrived in perfect condition. We are all completely blown away with how amazing it looks. My husband couldn’t believe it was the same machine and we both agreed that adding the legs makes it a perfect piece of retro furniture. My brother was very emotional when he realised what I had given him and the wonderful work that you have done on our treasured family heirloom. He couldn’t believe his eyes. David, my brother, is going to message you himself to thank you as soon as he has got over how great it looks and the amazing sound. He said it took him right back to when our mum was gifted it for Christmas by our dad all those years ago. I loved the sound, there is something really special about it, its so pure. I cannot thank you enough Bob. You are a truly amazing craftsman, not just that, but you actually care so much about the happiness that you give.

Kind regards always

A touching and thoughtful message from Steve in the northeast...

Hi Bob that’s me received my Dansette. You certainly know how to wrap it up because it arrived sound and secure. It’s now in pride of place in my room and looks absolutely fantastic. The colour is ideal and I’m glad I went for the light wood legs as they look great and match in well with the trim on the player. I’ve got it up and running and love the sound. It’s great to go through all my old vinyl and also it’s bringing back lovely memories of my late wife as there’s records of hers and ones we bought together. Again many thanks for all your effort and keep up the good work.  I may be back in touch soon as I’ve been thinking about your Bridget Box. 

Regards Steve

Hi Bob,

I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for all the work you did on the Dansette. All I had was an idea of what I thought might be a nice present but you really brought it to life in a way that I couldn't even imagine. 

From day one your passion for what you do and professionalism was evident. You got back to my email in half an hour, then we were chatting on the phone about the project for about an hour later that day! 

Thank you so much for keeping me involved in the project and the decision making as you went along and really understanding what it was I wanted and doing everything you could to make it happen!!

I can't really  see a world where I need another classic record player restored, but if I ever do you can bet I'm coming your way. Make sure you drop me an email if you ever find yourself in London, I reckon I own you a beer!!

All the best,

Limi

p.s. The present couldn't have gone down better, there were a lot of tears!!

Hi Bob, just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you again - radiogram safely delivered and set up and it’s an absolutely beautiful piece of kit and sound emerging. I’m delighted with my purchase and your craftsmanship, and without getting too sentimental it’s already brought me and the old man together as he’s now dropping round to insist we listen his dusted-off old collection together, so priceless in a sense! Will leave a proper review in next few days but thanks again, and will be sure to pass on your details when fellow millennial friends realise they need a radiogram in their lives too!

Best Paddy
