Clean & inspect
Start with the controls, connections, and the details years of use leave behind.
COLLECTED. RESTORED. ENJOYED.
Vintage sound.
A second life.
The glow of a dial. The feel of a solid tuning knob. The music that makes you stay for one more record.
Welcome to Dave’s collection of classic receivers, amplifiers, and speakers in Sauk City, Wisconsin.

Built to move air.
And a little history.
A place for the speakers in the collection: Cerwin-Vega’s unmistakable red surrounds and Marantz’s wood-cabinet classics.

FROM THE PAPER ARCHIVE
Before the internet,
there was the brochure.
Explore the original product literature that introduced these speakers to their first owners.
03 / AT THE BENCH
A little patience.
A lot of listening.
Vintage audio is as much about the journey as the finished piece. A dirty switch, a tired capacitor, or a quiet channel can turn into a satisfying evening at the bench.
My work includes cleaning controls, replacing lamps, checking components, and repairing faults. Each unit has its own history; restoration details are confirmed for that specific piece.

Find the fault, check the parts, and bring the music back one circuit at a time.
Listen & enjoy
Because the best part of keeping old equipment going is hearing it play again.
