It took a little time to get this old Zenith Wedge back (and I knew that going in) but it was well worth the wait. Wow, the Turntable and 8 Track have been brought back to life after 40 years. Sounds amazing! Thanks to the entire gang out at Alpha Tech. Friendly and highly knowledgeable staff. Fair pricing. Great experience! I’ll be back!

This review is a little belated, but still very well deserved! I picked up an old GE media floor console from an estate sale and they fixed its turntable in under two days - even gave me advice on taking it out and installing it back in! I was so impressed, and they were super friendly/approachable, and this is coming from someone who knows zilch about how this tech works. Couple months later and the turntable is still working amazingly :) Thank you guys!

I have nothing but great things to say about the service I have experienced at Alpha tech. Honest people who are highly skilled at their craft! They have gotten my two vintage turntables performing like they did when they were new at a reasonable price.

St. Louis is lucky to have this place. They were such a help with my turntable repair, and quickly diagnosed my problem and had me out the door in 10 minutes. The gentleman working there are extremely knowledgeable, and very helpful, even if you don't know anything about the ins and outs of your audio equipment. Highly recommended!!

I've collected vintage Marantz gear for years now. When I got them, Alpha Tech was my first stop. Expect a backlog. Good things come to those who wait. Understand, the guys are up there in years. There are hardly any young techs out there to replace them when they retire. They brought back a 2230 that was for all intents trash. It's now my prized piece. Over the course of a year I researched updating my Marantz 6100 turntable including sending a plinth to Serbia to have Ash veneer put on it, had a new dust cover made, new connections cables, a new cork mat and the shop sold me a lightly used Ortofon Blue cartridge. Then Ed got to work. When he finished, I had a one of a kind TT that he's still proud of. Me too!

I had a few issues with my record player/stereo and Kevin was very helpful. He did a great job explaining what was wrong with it, testing it, and coming upwith a clever work around so I didn’t have to spend a ton of money or buy a new one. Strongly recommend!

4/13/23. Called to ask if they repaired home theater receivers and they said they did not. I then began to explain my situation hoping for some advice when all of a sudden the representative said, "please don't waste our time", and then literally hung up on me. Unbelievable rudeness!! Stay away from this place!

Alpha Electronics took such great care and ownership of my turntable and brought it back to life. I'd trust them with any future repairs. The work was quality, timely, and reasonable.

Bought a turntable here last year. Ed helped guide me through the available selection of turntables to find the right one for my son. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. I know audio, electronics, and engineering and I can tell you these guys are not mere technicians, they are craftsmen!!! Go here if you want to get expert advice and excellent service. Will visit again when I want to buy or repair equipment.

I have had my audio equipment repaired at Alpha Tech for over twenty years. They always do a great job at a reasonable price. I have also bought some good equipment from them at a good price. Would highly recommend them.

Love this company! They have been repairing my old electronics equipment for years like my Grandmother's old late 1950's Magnavox console turntable with vacuum tubes; crystal clear and loud! VCR and CD repair as well! Thank you

7/20/2022 I brought an Onkyo TA-2700 tape deck in for service. I'm not an electronic DIY'r so I relied on AlphaTech to repair this unit. Belts, capstans, internal cleaning...I had no idea what was wrong. Deck powers up, display lights up but only tape movement that worked was 'rewind', no other tape movements functioned. Was told a 2-3month backlog, which I was ok with. Got a call 8/22/2022 stating, "Deck is done and ready for pick up", I told repair tech I would pick up on 8/26/2022. Courtesy call day of pick up to inform AlphaTech of my arrival time, and was informed then, "bad news, your deck is dead, microprocessor died its 'no longer available' your deck is junk". Repair ticket stated, "Cleaned out melted rubber and replaced belts". Plugged it in at their shop, deck powers up, display lights up, but no tape movement at all. How could deck be ready for pick up on 8/22/2022 and be landfill fodder on 8/26/2022? My first thought, AlphaTech blew up my deck! Got home, did an internet search for tech help and found a contact. Talked to him at length and agreed to a deck drop off for verification, inspection and determination of deck's condition. One week later, tech advised me my deck is done, ready for pick up. While at this tech's shop he put my deck thru various functions he uses to determine a tape decks performance and operating quality. "Your deck uses Nakamichi tape transports, which at the time your deck was built were some of the industry's best. Your decks electronics are complicated but I know them inside and out. Your deck shows very little wear on any components, it's in great condition. The previous repair tech didn't know what was wrong with your deck. He installed wrong sized belts, wrong routing of new belts and broke a switch in a location of deck he didn't need to be near. He told you microprocessor is dead as a cover for his lack of experience and knowledge with Onkyo decks hoping you'd buy his explanation. Your deck is one of the best Onkyo put out at that time. It's fixed and operates as new". Had I believed in AplhaTech's assessment, this deck would be in an electronic recycling pile. Why not tell me the truth, "We don't know what's wrong, we can't fix your deck". Instead, I was told a lie to cover their incompetence and charged a fee as well....1 star is too good!
