| Title: | Electronic Technician |
| Work Email: | kd6tas@yahoo.com |
| Work Phone: | 650-322-8656 |
| Services: | Amp repairs, restoration, mods. Can also handle basic repairs on effects etc. (most any audio frequency electronic device tube or solid-state where service literature and parts are available). Keep in mind that what I charge is based on time spent and materials used--not on a flat rate or completed job basis. Your satisfaction is not part of the time and materials fee system either. That means your understanding of what you want me to do must be clear so that you can communicate it to me in such a way that I won't misunderstand it and do something other than what you wanted (but that you will still be required to pay for). |
| Charges: | $40/hour I don't work cheap. Keep that in mind when considering subjective tone mods that often require multiple sessions to complete because of differing expections. The way tone mods work is that I do what I think will make the desired change based on my own sense of hearing and my interpretation of what you tell me you want. You pay me for my time and materials even if what I did doesn't sound exactly the way you expected. At that point you can have me try again, leave it like it is, or restore it to the way it was with the understanding that you have to pay for restorations or further attempts. |
| Hours: | I work out of my house. The best time to reach me is usually between 10 AM and 2 PM (west coast time) on weekdays. |
| Specialties: | Straight (no mods) repairs and restoration (doing what is necessary to bring an amp back to stock specs). My philosophy is that restoration (some call it "blueprinting") should always come before modifications so that sound and reliability baselines are established. In many cases once restoration is accomplished no tone mods are necessary. |
