Frequently Asked Questions

When is it no longer worth repairing an old radio?

Repairing is always worth it. "Old" technical devices like radios, televisions, or record players usually have a high degree of functionality and durability. We ensure that your device continues to work for the next years and decades.

Which devices can be brought in?

Our experts specialize in repairing technical devices up until the turn of the century, i.e. until the 1990s.

From which data carriers can the data be digitized?

In our laboratory, we have new and very old playback devices for all kinds of audio and visual media.
