Marc is an incredibly proficient technician. He may be one of the few--if not the only--techs who can repair DAT machines like the Panasonic SV-3700. He successfully fixed both of mine, and thanks to his expertise, I was able to retrieve years of archived music. I highly recommend him--he's not only skilled, but also honest and fair. read more

We got a VHS/DVD combo from my husband's grandmother who passed away and after testing it we realized it's not powering. We wanted to fix it. Who used a VCR nowadays? Well, us, for work related transfers and as cinefile-s (some movies - and they're rare were never released passed the VHS era). I started to look into Electronic Repair stores in the area and there aren't many left. Not surprised, but it's LA, so luckily, there are a few left in business, like FET Electronics. I read the Yelp reviews, it was encouraging and bookmarked it! Fast forward 3 months later, we had another issue with a similar Panasonic model that we own, so we decided to give the place a shot. My husband called over, talked to Mark, the owner and felt reassured after their conversation because he identified the issues just over the phone. We stopped by one day and dropped them and met Mark, who is very nice, knowledgeable, a real professional. Not many like him left behind! Too bad that is a profession that is going away. You don't always feel like throwing out equipment that has an issue and get a new one, not always that easy for your set up. Everyone has their reasons! The place is in Burbank, on Burbank Blvd. (close to the Hollywood Way intersection), we found street parking in front. The store might seem small, but it goes all the way back! It's a geek electronics paradise, lots of audio equipment around. Mark also did work for major musicians like Van Halen among many others - check his photo gallery on the wall! Famed clients! We left the VCR-s, called in about 2 weeks and he fixed them, he was testing them to make sure! After a few days we picked them up, he checked them for us, and he gives you a 3 months warranty which is great. If you're in a rush, this might not work out since Mark is busy, but if you're patient, he will get it fixed in a few weeks. It's not cheap, but he gets high quality parts and it makes sense for the repair to last. If you have an old piece of equipment that needs to be fixed, Mark is the guy. Hurry in before he retires! He is very nice, kind, nice to chat with, reassuring, calm, and very, very knowledgeable, you will trust him on the spot. Closed in the weekend! Great experience, great place, hope it will be around for a while. It helped our situation and the location is great! Nice to get great service at a local small business in the area! read more

Wonderful experience. Mark is a thoughtful, talented artisan of electronics. Fixed my record player for an honest price. Plus it's just fun to talk to him about all the gear he's working on. read more

The world will be worse off when this gentleman retires from his craft. He brought my vintage Alpine car stereo back to life and now it's happily playing 80's tunes in my Datsun. read more

Mark is the BEST. He is very knowledgeable about DAT Recorders and that was the experience that I was looking for. Mark was able to bring my beautiful Sony DAT Recorder back to life again. Mark is the only person I trust to work on any of my stereo equipment. Thank you so much for the quality repair and professionalism. Ryan read more

FET Electronics - Sony DTC-87ES DAT Recorder fully restored by Mark at FET Electronics. Burbank, CA. Thank you Mark - Electronics Repair Near Me - Burbank, California

A real gift to find a true craftsperson who is fair and knowledgeable. I brought my 1990s Sony DAT walkman in and Mark repaired it in no time at a very reasonable cost. Plus, he's a very nice person! read more

Mark (the owner) did a huge quick diagnosis and repair on my BOSCH RANDOM ORBITAL SANDER! Circuit board was cracked. Thanks again Mark!

I've now had three different pieces of pro audio gear repaired by Mark--he is an absolute genius in fixing amps, audio gear, and especially rotary head tape machines. His prices are fair and he sticks to his quotes. I really appreciate his honesty up-front that he wasn't able to repair an old broadcast SVHS I have, but he fixed two DA-88s and a Panasonic DAT machine perfectly. Highly recommend him for audio gear repairs! read more

I needed to fix my dads cd player. It's a really nice one and it only had a small issue where the cd door wouldn't open. I asked so many places if they could repair it but it was either super expensive or undoable. I looked inside the player and knew it was just a small piece that needed to be replaced. I was so happy I found this place. The guy here is THE GUY. I brought in my player and he was able to replace the small parts on site. My dad has a huge cd collection and was spiritually crushed when his cd player broke and buying my a new one was a whole thing for him. When I brought it back fixed my dad was so happy and listened to his favorite cds all night. read more

Mark did a great job. I brought in an Aiwa cassette deck from 1994 that has been in the box for over 25 years and it was not working. He replaced the belts and checked/repaired all the functions and the deck now works like new. read more

Brought my Parasound CDP 2000 to FET yesterday and Mark had it fixed and ready for pick up the next day. Something that the previous mega repair shop of overhyped reputation on Jefferson Blvd in LA couldn't do for five months. It was a nightmare! Do not make that same mistake. So glad I found FET. Highly recommended. read more

FET Electronics - Parasound CDP2000 - Electronics Repair Near Me - Burbank, California

Great service, knows what he's doing found a problem that the factory had labeled wrong.

As with the others here, I found this place to be a haven for audio electronics in need of repair. Mark is a friendly and energetic guy; he's unafraid to tackle tricky old electronics. He's repaired almost 2 dozen machines for me, including DAT and cassette machines (stereo and 4-track), modern digital converters, and vintage reel-to-reel decks. Mark has an Electrical Engineering degree, but can also explain the basics of what's going on in your unit. His prices are VERY fair and I usually see my units back in very short time. I let him know when I need things fast, or if they can wait a bit. He's doing synthesizers, audiophile home stereo gear, vintage guitar tube amps, monitor systems, PA speakers, whatever. Always an interesting group of things around you when I go in here. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. No exaggeration. Mark is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable and very fairly priced. He had my 1970s Marantz with a bad capacitor sorted out, repaired and returned in less than a week. It's always a gamble to fsearch for competent trustworthy folks to work on vintage equipment, Mark is the REAL Deal with a heart of gold! read more

Mark has proven himself time and again to not only know what he's doing, but he can fix seemingly anything at a more than fair price. A rare commodity these days. No matter where you live in LA, worth the drive to Burbank. read more

I stopped to see if I could get my Furman power strip fixed. so fast! he did it while I waited!

Mark is truly a gem, I found FET from the great reviews. I have a lot of camera and sound equipment that needs various repairs from use in the field. Shipping to manufacturers can take weeks and Mark has saved my productions several times, doing same day rush jobs when he has time and always going above and beyond. read more

Mark the owner is very nice and I had a preamp that didn't have phantom power and it was fixed for a very fair price. I would highly recommend for fixing any old equipment you might have. It's nice that people like Mark are still fixing stuff so you don't have to throw it out read more

Mark is an experienced technician, he is dedicated and very honest. He has always come through for me and I highly recommend him.

Mark is fast and awesome at solving difficult issues. I use FET regularly for all my clients pro audio gear and he also has fixed issues with motherboards without fail. read more

So pleasantly pleased with my experience at FET electronics. We had an urgent need to get our data player fixed and he was able to do it so quickly and efficiently I'm already lining up other projects. read more

It's great that places like this still exist. Mark (owner) replaced the usb jack on my Micro Korg. Now it's no longer useless. Fet's glory days were during the big DAT phase of the recording industry in the 80's and 90's. Now that technology has moved on from this medium, Fet is open to fix anything analog. Good personal customer service. Everything is fixed on sight, nothing is shipped out. This is the place to go for electronics repair. read more

I had tried a few other repair places around town with mixed results ranging from mediocre to exasperating, which is why I'm beyond thrilled that I found Mark at FET Electronics. Not only is he an expert at repairing all types of gear, he's also incredibly genuine, direct and honest (which seems to be alarmingly rare in this field). And he doesn't charge an arm and a leg! I actually took him one component that another repair shop told me was unfixable and now it's back to full functionality. I will never take my gear anywhere else! read more

I had a cracked/broken pair of headphones, Mark took it, repaired it and got the job done in such a short amount of time. he was incredibly polite and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for professional, quality work. read more

Mark does great work at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Restored open/close function the cd drawer of my Yamaha 5-disc cd player. Offerred me a complimentary sleeve for the disc that was stuck in the player. read more

Mark was so great! I had a solo 610 preamp that wouldn't turn turn on. I dropped it off on Friday, and by Monday it was fixed. Like going to a car mechanic, dropping off your gear can be kind of scary in that the mechanic or in this case Mark could potentially make up a myriad of reasons as to how much money you owe them for the service, luckily I found one of the most honest guys in this line of work! Thank you Mark, I'll definitely send any of my buddies here that need gear fixed. read more

Believe the 5 Star reviews for FET. Needed to repair my 1998 Denon DN-C550R rack mount cd recorder for my studio. After many attempts to find someone reputable, I found FET. Mark lived up to his positive reviews and a week after dropping off the recorder he had it working like new. I'll be taking all my gear to Mark from now on. read more

I had a small electronics item fixed her. It was fast and inexpensive here! A few months ago I went to a computer repair place to fix a similar electronics gadget which cost me 5x as much and it took over 1 week. I highly recommend FET Electronics!!! read more

This place has 5 stars for a reason. Mark is not only knowledgeable but also super friendly. If you're looking for a tech to repair your vintage audio equipment, this is the place to go! read more

Continued to come to Marc for all my electronic repair needs. 3rd item today was my amp, which I needed a rush job on to be able to play my show on Friday. He stopped what he was doing and did some really fancy hand wiring to custom fit a beefy new metal input jack for me. Hung out and chatted with him while he performed his work. Great price. Great guy. I'm bringing in my other amp next month for an overhaul. read more

Mark is mad cool! Definitely enjoys what he does. He's repaired a couple of my old DAT machines. I'm about to take him 2 of my power amps that need repair. I just recommended him to a friend of mine who was looking for a repair man. This guy is my go to, PERIOD. Fair pricing too. read more

This was very disappointing. After going to this establishment because of the high ratings on yelp, I felt confident in the owner, Mark's abilities. I brought in a subwoofer amplifier that was very noisy. I received the unit back approximately three weeks later. Once I tested the unit at home it was clear that the noise was gone but the volume controls were no longer working and the only sound that came out was very loud distortion which was different from the original problem but worse an in it's own right. That night, I used the receipt that Mark texted me in order to make initial contact regarding the problem. The receipt is actually some type of review app, Squareup, that will register either a positive or negative experience. The next day, I called to follow up and Mark started yelling and screaming at me that "I ruined his reputation!". I explained to him over and over that that was not my intent, my intent was simply to initiate the warranty process which he stated that his work was guaranteed for 90 days. He continued to yell and scream, which at that point, I found extremely inappropriate for a business owner and gave me absolutely no confidence in having him do any further work on my audio equipment. I then hung up. read more

Mark is awesome! He's easy to talk to and usually game to solve a problem. But at the same time, if he can't do it he'll be honest and just say he can't do it rather than keeping your gear and dragging it on indefinitely. I've been very happy with his work and will continue to bring my gear to him for repairs. read more

This is the best repair shop in LA, keyboards, amps, Dat, ADATs and anything else you can think of. Repaired on time and correctly. I have been using FET for over 20 years and he is just the best!!! read more

Mark at FET is THE MAN! He's helped me several times and each time he was generous and professional and very helpful. First time he glued a loose key on my Microkorg and he did it FOR FREE! Another time he replaced the keys on my Novation MiniNova, as well as bringing my MicoMoog back to top shape by doing a thorough clean (each pot) and a tuning. He's personable and gets the job done and I recommend this mom and pops (just a pops, here), for anyone who needs to get their gear fixed! read more

Mark, the owner of FET, has been working on my gear for decades. Not once did I have the slightest complaint. He's great to talk to, can bring back to life machines I was doubtful could be and is priced very fairly. Mark (FET) is completely reliable and quick. If I could rate 6 stars I would! read more

If I could give six stars or more, I would. Very accomodating and congenial businessman. Mark is an electronics repair wizz, whose been in the business for over 30 years. He did a magnificent job on my RCA stereo system. He also fixed the jack on my computer booster box like new. Very reasonably priced.... Whenever you're in need of repairs and want the best, Mark at FET Electronics is the place! read more

My headset had a broken speaker and he was able to replace the speaker and get it to work. Plan on coming here again for any further issues with my speaker. read more
