Vince and Sue run a nice business. Fair reasonable and I think a fast turnaround. Ive used several times. You cant go wrong

Drove up from Wheeling to drop off a 30‑year‑old EQ that refused to power on. Vince fixed it in one day like it was nothing. Didn't charge a penny more than my $25 deposit. Vince is the Chuck Norris of electronics repair. read more

I was having issues with my record player and someone referred me here. I brought it in on a Saturday afternoon and paid a $25 deposit. I got an email and phone call the following Thursday that it was ready. Considering they're closed Sun-Wed, this was a fast turn around! I didn't owe anything extra. The lady who assisted me both times was very kind. My record player is back to normal now! This is the perfect spot to take your record player if you're having issues. read more

I took in my 50 year old turn table, that didn't turn and my 50 year old receiver that was all static and dim. The turntable now turns the proper speed and the receiver is static free and ever lamp has been replaced with LED lamps. I never remember all of the functions that now light up. The sound quality is a good as when I bought it in 1976. The service as very quick (1 week) and the cost was very reasonable. Thank you for bringing back the good memories. read more

Phenomenal customer service, prompt, friendly and incredibly fair charges. If you need help with electronics, this is the place to go

Vince was very helpful and recommended another vendor that might be able to help me. Vince is one of two people in Pittsburgh who work regularly on vintage Marantz receivers. Vintage record store on the same second story location. They have a huge inventory. read more

Brought my 60's Wondergram in that was in need of repair. Fixed within one week and reasonable. A wondergram is a portable record player made by Emerson and distributed in England. Highly recommend. read more

Incredible service. I dropped off a turntable on Thursday afternoon and picked it up Friday morning. The dry belt was repaired, motor was oiled and cleaned with no additional payment requested beyond the $25 deposit. This is the only place I will go for audio repairs! read more

Dual turntable quit working! Fixed in one day.. owner came out and we talked for ten minutes... Now I will be able to play my old LP's and 45's... Highly recommend in Squirrel Hill area... read more

I have been going to Galaxie for many years now. It feels good to support a local business, and Vince and Sue have become friends in the process. What people need to realize is that 'repair' of a 40 year old component does not mean "completely rebuilding and replacing everything". And sometimes the unexpected happens and parts fail. Vince is always, always honest, and stands behind his work. He is extremely knowledgeable and his prices more than reasonable. The fact that he's a super nice guy is the cherry on top. He has all of my business. I value integrity. read more

I sent an obscure Audio Technica Sound Burger from Miami to this shop with a friend of mine and due to it tracking slowly and within a couple of weeks it was perfect and for just $50. I can't recommend this shop enough for reliable and competent repairs. In Miami I was quoted for 3 times the amount with no guarantee of successful results. This place is a true gem. read more

Galaxie Electronics - Audio Technica Sound Burger - Electronics Repair Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

I brought a turntable here for a repair and the owner asked me what the problem was with it. I didn't know, hence me bringing it to him. Every person there was in a bad mood and slightly rude. The location is terrible. It's on a hill in Squirrel Hill with only street parking and then it's about two flights of sleep stairs up to the tiny messy repair shop. They have super odd hours, only open three days a week with limited time per day, so it's hard to pick up repaired items. Yet, the owners leave rude messages when you don't come immediately to get your item. To top it off, I live an hour away and have a life, so getting out there is a huge pain. read more

Great store! Went to get my niece a stereo for Christmas. Vintage setup sounds amazing for a fraction of the cost of new. Definitely recommend. read more

I was so bummed when my 5 disc cd player broke. They do not even make them anymore. Brought it here with low expectations and to my great surprise, fixed for under $50!!!! The guy was real nice and I couldn't be happier. read more

I just love supporting the small businesses in Pittsburgh . Just got another record player for $70.00 here , and it sounds wonderful . The record store (Jerry's records) was giving away box's of records at the bottom of the stairs. But you have to take the whole box. (100 or so records per box ) I found a few gem's .....King Crimson , Cream , Almond Brothers , Traffic and Groove Holmes just to name a few .. I even got a Mister Rogers LP ! ....Not great condition , but I will be playing them on my new record player. both places have very friendly and knowledgeable staff.. Prices are CHEAP .If you have some time to kill , you have to pay these guys a visit. now I gotta go get some pizza & beer so I can play my records. read more

I try to support local businesses, and the treatment we received when we were shopping for a turntable was excellent; however, the attitude of the owner changed completely when we discovered that the turntable we purchased did not have the features that he indicated before the sale. We purchased a turntable last month from Galaxie Electronics, and when we got it home it did not work the way in which the owner had said it would with multiple speakers. The owner indicated that it could NOTt be returned because he would not be able to re-sell it. We were told to contact the manufacturer. In addition the owner told us prior to buying the turntable that it was NOT available in any other color. In fact, there are many other colors of that exact model for sale at Urban Outfitters. I DID contact the manufacturer, and I lodged a complaint about the business. There is no sign in the store that merchandise cannot be returned (other than needles), and the owner did not tell the truth about the available colors. We will NOT return to Galaxie Electronics again. Go somewhere that has a large selection and will accept returns. read more

Great service ! Top notch ! I can't say enough about the level of detail and care, this fella knows his stuff ! AAAAA

Excellent service! They were able to hook us up with an awesome turntable with all the audio equipment and stereos for a very reasonable price. We thought we may have to go shop at different places afterwards to get everything we need, but we were in and out with all our purchases from one place. They offered help with anything if we had any difficulties and provided plenty of information to help us pick out the perfect system for us. I highly recommend going here for your audio equipment purchases or repairs. read more

Amazing place. The craftsmen who work here can fix anything, hence the wide variety of players they sell, plus cool, modern stuff like this Crosley I just bought from them (http://www.crosleyradio.com/Product.aspx?pid=1686). I feel really good about how they'll stand behind everything they sell maintenance-wise 100%. Highly recommend this shop to anyone, even someone who has never owned a record player before (like me!) read more

Expensive and no follow through when contacted- getting this guy to warrant his work is impossible. They just say "I don't know"- I regret going here and won't return. I'm having a certified tech review his work. If he didn't do what the receipt claims (three reminders to get a receipt) I'm following up with him. Save your money at this stop. I wish I would have. read more

After getting burned by Atlas Audio, it was refreshing to take my tape duplicator here. The thing just needed a little TLC, and Vince was just the man to service it. He located the problem (which was not what the chumps at Atlas had said it was) fixed it quickly, and provided the service at a reasonable price. He was very informative, and didn't seem burdened when I asked questions. All in all, a great experience. Hope I don't have to get this thing fixed again any time soon, but when/if I do, I'll be going back to Galaxie. read more

Thank the stars for Galaxie! I can't believe this place!! The most organized store - They sell newer pieces along with every sort of vintage stereo equipment - with beautiful wooden bases - all restored and brought back to life by Vince. What good luck to stumble upon this fantastic store. I am about to go back to buy the beautiful "GALAXIE" Speakers - hand made - super sonic speakers. The story of the local craftsman who makes them - it's just too much - they sound ten times better than my fancy Rosewood QUAD speakers. I am not an experienced audiophile - and the equipment can be intimidating - Vince made everything easy and was patient enough (and kind enough not to laugh at me) when I came in with my novice turntable problem. I brought in a used AT PL 120 turntable - with an upgraded cartridge - as a Christmas present for my parents - but when I connected it to the phono input on the receiver - it was cacophony - I took it to Galaxie - prepared for the worst - and within five minutes Vince sorted the whole problem out. Simple - newer turntables have preamps which will interfere with the receiver's preamp - and you have to flip a switch to turn off the TT preamp (hidden under the platter). Disaster averted and everything working perfectly now. We listened to records for hours yesterday!! I'm so excited to pick up the speakers today and get the home stereo all set up. Thanks VINCE!! read more

Galaxie provides everything you could hope for in a business transaction: 1. Locally-owned 2. Good communication: When my item was ready to pick up, I received a voicemail message including the price of the repair, Galaxie's hours, and contact information. 3. Affordable: My touch-sensitive lamp turned on when plugged in, but the touch sensitivity no longer worked. I had called another repair shop before trying Galaxie, but it was unable to fix that type of problem. Galaxie repaired it within a week or two for a whopping $10. read more

I carried my Technics stereo Amplifier in to their location in Squirrel Hill with a malfunctioning On and Off Switch. I was hoping to have it repaired before the Christmas holiday. They appeared to be very busy and estimated two to three week turnaround if they needed to order parts. Galaxie turned it around in 1 day at a very reasonable price. Working beautifully!!! So happy to have working for the Christmas holidays. I will be back! read more

Awesome, fantastic, friendly---I honestly can't think of the best word to describe them. I had bought a Vietnam-era stereo receiver for $2 and needed someone to fix it up before I moved. The left speaker fuse blew constantly, and since I know nothing about stereo equipment other than how to hook up the speakers, I was a bit in over my head. However, I was also nervous about taking it somewhere because overall, it was in excellent condition. I finally found Galaxie, and I brought the receiver in less than a week before I was about to move (not the smartest thing I could have done). Despite the time crunch, they were courteous, looked at it right away, and fixed it up with two days to spare before I left. Plus, they treated it like it was their own piece of stereo equipment. Their prices are extremely reasonable, especially with the great service that you get. If you have a piece of stereo equipment that you really care about, whether it's a vintage piece of equipment or something newer, go here. They are absolutely incredible. Plus, if you need some vinyl records to go with your stereo, you can stop in to Jerry's right next door. Now that's convenience! read more

Gave this place a number of tries. I have bought two turntables here and one cheap receiver. The receiver broke literally the moment I plugged it in. No big deal it cost around $15-20 and was very low end. Two other turntables I bought stopped working within a month of purchase...not belts...not needles, these were replaced and they still do not function. When I bought the last one I asked what his return policy was because of my previous issues...he sort of chuckled and just assured me it worked. I got burned three times and I will not be back. BUYER BEWARE. read more

Vince did a fantastic job cleaning up and repairing my mothers turntable for me. Planning to pick up a new amp from him in the near future and maybe having him work TL1200 too. They also have great prices for sleeves and slips too. Have bought a few hundred over the past few years. read more

You want a record player? Yep, you can get one. You need your turntable repaired for a reasonable, in my mind, cost? Yep, they can do that too. You inherited, or came in possession of, your great-grandfather's old turntable console that needs repaired? Yep, they even work with vacuum tube units. The last story pertains to me as I took the main unit, which ran the turntable and FM/AM radio, in earlier this year to fix it due to it not powering up. They tested the vacuum tubes and they were still good even though the unit had sat for over 20 years and had been moved to different homes at least three times. A couple resistors, however, were bad and thus replaced. NOTE: It took about a week for them to finish this due to the reason below. Keep in mind that they are almost always getting in devices to repair and/or sell so it might take them some time to finish your work order. I believe this place is both cash and credit card, Jerry's Records is not. Regardless of which, this is a local business that I will keep on supporting for a long time to come. read more

The only place I would go for all of my electronics repairs. Not only does Vince do a great job, he charges the most reasonable prices. Never been to a more trustworthy repair shop. And the location's great too. read more

They are wonderful and absolutely incredibly responsive. I took in a 30 year old turntable, a 400 CD carousel, AND a 1939 Zenith console radio. ALL were fixed within one day and the total cost (for all) was under $200!! read more

Friendly, helpful, informative folks. I think I've only ever had them do one minor turntable repair, but they certainly know their stuff - and are also the go-to place in Pittsburgh for needles, cartridges, belts, and other supplies. FYI though - they seem to prefer if you bring the old needle or belt in when you're getting a replacement - they're a bit reluctant to go by your player's model number (presumably to avoid selling you the wrong part). I do have an old amplifier that needs a tune up - when I finally get around to setting up that system, I will definitely be taking it here to get it in working order! read more

Great find ... stopped in to find some new Vinyl at Jerry's, looked in at Galaxie.. blast from the past. Walked away with a set of Kenwood KL-660's .. got home, plugged them into my NAD Amp, great sound! Vince was amazing ... super knowledgeable ... tried out some different Receivers and Speakers .. can't wait to go back. Building a vintage stereo system to listen to old vinyl and some new stuff. Glad he's here in the Burgh read more

They fixed my 1970s Technics receiver, and it works like new. I didn't think parts would even be available. And the price was right.

I needed to find an honest, reliable and competent person to refoam my 35+ yr old speakers. I am so pleased that I found Vince and Galaxie Electronics. He did a truly excellent job in a timely manner. He also completely checked them out to see if there could be any other issues. Vince did such a fine job, so I also asked him to check out my Pioneer receiver and turntable. I then asked him to refurbish my reel-to-reel tape recorder. All of the work was expertly done and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Vince and Galaxie Electronics. I would not hesitate to have him repair anything. I am so glad that I found this place ! And it's also great to check out all the vinyl at Jerry's Records while you're there. They have everything you need. read more

I brought a stereo speaker in to have a woofer replaced. He had the job done within a day or two and didn't even charge me! It goes without saying that I had a great experience at Galaxie. I would definitely go back if I ever need a more involved repair or am in the market for some stereo equipment. read more

I had a special request for Galaxie, I wanted them to eliminate the beeping sound and bright light from my air purifier. Galaxie made the changes within hours, and I picked it up same day. Excellent and friendly service, high quality and dependable work. I would definitely go back there and I highly recommend Galaxie. They care about their customers and they care about providing a high level of quality service. read more

Vince does an amazing job at fixing my old radios. He is very talented at what he does and is honest and tells you what the real situation is with your item. I will continue bringing my finds to him to repair. Fair price also. read more

I have bought several new and used speakers, turntables and receivers from him and some repairs also. He knows his stuff, is a nice guy and prices all equipment very reasonably. You may find the same used stuff on EBay for a few bucks cheaper, but it is likely to need some attention. If you buy his used equipment, you will be sure that it all works. More businesses should operate like this. read more
