I've been to E Josep Electronics only twice. Once for a dysfunctional hearing aid charger ... the other for a DVD player. Each time I was awed by Ned, one of two brothers who own and operate the facility. The patience and manner to explain the problem, the fee well below my expectation and both times results were seemingly better than when the items were new. The service was top-notch while the experience overall was like having a family member telling you something that you needed to know and felt really good about it afterwards. read more

Ned is an absolute legend. I was having trouble with my DDJ-SX3 DJ controller and he was able get it fixed the same day. Incredibly nice person, incredible knowledge of electronics. Strongly recommend this shop for all your electronic fix needs. read more

Ned is wonderful. I brought in my old and neglected electronics and had him give me an evaluation on them. He told me a few weren't worth saving, but a couple of them, including an old radio was worth the trouble. He repaired the items quickly and made an excellent recommendation on a few others. He was insightful, professional and so kind. He has integrity as well, so nothing felt phony or like I was being deceived. I would recommend him highly if you were looking for some fixes or maintenance was looming on older electronics. read more

Ned was amazing. He was super knowledgeable about my High End VCR and High End Sony CD player. He communicated clearly and quickly repaired both of them to the highest satisfaction in just a few days. He also went the extra mile for me in suggesting tips to use my products better and to affirm that repairing high end older products is worth it. I can't recommend him enough. If you have something old it's worth repairing and there are not enough of these services to repair great equipment. Your product will be like new and far better than anything new they offer on the market. I highly recommend him. read more

I brought my KRK subwoofer in today that I was having issues with. NED is one of the most honest humans I've met in the world. He hooked it up in the shop, told me the issue. He also told me don't throw it out, because I can use parts from it. Recommended me finding another used sub or buying new. Anyone else would've taken my money for bench fees just to tell me what NED told me. I now have a favorite shop out here for repairs. read more

I have several family VHS tapes needing conversion to digital and I had 3 non working VHS players, I brought them in one at a time to see if they could be repaired. Ned was quick to call me back and let me know the diagnosis of each with a detailed report of the problems. Two could not be repaired due to lack of parts (they are 20-30 years old) but he was able to restore and recondition the third one, it works like new! I appreciate the dedication to his work and I enjoyed talking old technology with him. Highly recommend! read more

First of all. Ned is awesome and genuinely an honest guy. When my old school Technics MK-2 turntable was only playing from the left speaker I thought the needle was done. But when I replaced it and still the problem persisted, I knew it might be and issue with the rca or something internal. So I started to look for a specialist that could fix this. When I found Ned and I brought it in, he was so patient to explain what the issue might be and sure enough, he was right. He fixed the problem in an hr and now I have my vintage setup all ready to go. Thanks Ned! read more

Joseph E - Electronics Repair Near Me - Culver City, California

Amazing service, I stopped by this morning and got my soundbar speaker fixed right away.

Ned is your man if you want your old stereo, VCR, etc fixed. He'll be honest and tell you if your item is not worth fixing or would be too expensive. Place looks like if an explosion went off in a Radio Shack and Best Buy and the remaining parts landed here. I had a very expensive Panasonic AG_W1 Multi-System VCR that plays and transfers Pal, Ntsc, and Secam tapes. They simply don't make these anymore so what was I going to do with the 100's of PAL tapes I still have with good stuff on them? The rare throwback store where quality of service matters over money. These places are going the way of the pager and typewriter stores so let's keep them in business -- please! Oh, -- it's RIGHT next door to the best BBQ in town - Maple Block. Go for lunch after you drop off that old turntable. read more

Ned is the best. Not only was he able to fix my stereo's CD player - which by the way, sounds better now than when it was new - but he was a delight to speak with. In fact, I'd say my fave part of the experience was just talking with Ned. We fixed a lot of the world's problems during our chats. read more

Ned is an absolute legend and a gem of a human being. He is knowledgeable, communicative, fair and honest. He'll try obvious fixes for your equipment, if he can, before you even leave the store. But if you need an in-depth job, he will take it on and keep you updated along the way. He's worked on my turntable and stereo receiver and has been so helpful and effective, whilst being funny and kind along the way. I'd give him 10 stars if I could. We need more business owners like Ned in this world. read more

I needed a headphone port soldered back onto my monitor and Ned was able to do this very quickly for me. Just an all around nice and knowledgeable guy. I'll definitely be going back there for any more electronic needs. - dean read more

Ok, I delayed this post because I was for sure thinking my very old exercise bike (23 years - I can't find anything like it anymore. It's comfortable!) Anyway, I delayed this post because I thought for sure it was a goner and when Ned fixed it I was in dis-belief. I am so scared it will break again, but it's been a month and all is good I really hope this post doesn't jinx it! Thanks Ned! read more

I took in the marantz and Ned fixed it up beautifully. New led lights, cleaned all circuits. Like new. He's the best

The gentleman who owns "Joseph E" in Culver City is a kind, courteous, and extremely knowledgable guy named NED - just so you know - so dont call there and ask for "Joseph". Whoever he is - or was - the guy to speak with is Ned. Ned is what I would describe as a brilliant electronics surgeon - I brought him my vintage Pioneer SX-1050 (one of their great "built like a truck" vintage receivers circa 1978) after a power surge sent the unit into protection mode, and there it got stuck...Ned performed his diagnosis and repaired not just the protection circuit issue, but he also repaired a number of other issues (he replaced all the light bulbs with new obsolete stock ORIGINAL bulbs (as opposed to easy way out, which is putting LED lights to replace the original bulbs - this is exactly what another electronics repair shop in LA did when I brought another piece of vintage stereo equipment to them) as well as replacing a few bad capacitors. All this at what I would call a very fair price. Ned's shop is filled with ALL kinds of electronics - but I got the feeling when he saw my vintage Pioneer receiver, he couldnt wait to dive into it, like he was about to have an wonderful adventure - or about to sit down to a delicious steak dinner. He really loves vintage audio equipment - but he can probably fix your microwave oven, your television, your vacuum cleaner, or your old VCR from the 90's I suppose...but I believe his passion is vintage audio - amplifires, turntables, etc. Anyway, whatever your problem with any electronics equipment, I can assure you THIS is the place to go. Five Stars! Thank You Ned! read more

Ned is amazing! He fixed my father in law's 40 year old turntable to brand new condition, quickly and affordably. When I brought it to him the turntable was slow and uneven, and the auto play didn't work at all. He fixed everything including the auto play so you can stack records and it will keep playing. I figured that would never work again but he fixed it. This turntable has so much sentimental value to my wife and sounds amazing now, so happy with the work Ned did! Highly recommend E. Joseph for all electronics repair! read more

As everyone here has said Ned is fantastic. I brought in an old Onkyo amplifier with a circuit issue and he fixed it in a day. Great, friendly technician and wonderful service! Will definitely be bringing back some more items for repair! read more

Thanks Ned... Very knowledgeable, quality work with first turnaround. With a proper diagnosis, he fixed my cherished 1200 Technics turntable. read more

I am overjoyed to write this review. The owner, Ned is a Joyful Person. I am 75 years old and went to see if the shaver which belonged to my late Father could be repaired. Ned quickly upon review found the problem and made the repair on the spot. The price for repair was remarkable. Ned made my day. His quick study and joyous outlook was all that was needed. He is a skilled repairman. I believe he can repair anything. I highly recommend him. read more

Took my air purifier to another business that said my item couldn't be repaired ( all it needed was the electric plug replaced) and the other business was rude. So I called Joseph E, not only did they have great customer service, they replaced my plug as I waited and gave me a great price. Thanks read more

You're not gonna find a better specialist in town for your vintage electronics. Honest, reliable, and fast service. This place is a diamond in the rough and the knowledge here is better than any internet search you can drum up. You'll get an honest quote from here with zero bs. But keep in mind that most newer electronics (post 2010s) will not be worth fixing. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Ned is remarkable. I wish more repair man, contractors, or sales people are more like him- honest, reliable, fair and reasonably priced. About a year ago I called him with a question regarding our Yamaha stereo components system. He guided me over the phone. Today I picked up the same Yamaha stereo system that he repaired, where he cleaned the three CD tray, replaced components that were faulty, replace the drive belt and clean the laser, among other things. Now we have a quality AND working stereo system that is not made today for a fraction of the cost. Stay with quality products and have Ned repair them. You won't be disappointed. Now I am going home to test a few things he suggested on our nonworking DVD player and then I will call Ned. read more

Joseph E - Yamaha compact stereo system - Electronics Repair Near Me - Culver City, California

Name is Justin, I found this repair shop on Yelp and I'm so glad that I did. I had a mask issue with some technical problems, wiring issues and gear issues. I didn't think the mask will come back alive. Mr. Joseph has a lot of skills and knows exactly what he's doing. You should trust him with all your gadgets and gizmos, he truly revived my Spider-Man mask , when it comes down to soldering and anything else he is the man go to guy. I'll be back for anything else. I need help. Thank you so so much. read more

So my Italian made range vent Hood above my stove went out over a year ago. Thanks to the pandemic, I've been able to get at some of these repairs in the house finally. When I bought the house I got acclimated with most of my appliances. But the vent range hood I overlooked getting familiar with. The first thing you should know the metal screens that come out, need to be put in the dishwasher every now and then. 7 years of grease and usage became brand new again with one dishwasher cycle.  A vent range hood has two components, a blower and a brain made up of a circuit board with transformer diodes and capacitors. The manufacturer said this 15 year old unit does not have a replacement brain, only replacement motor. They do not repair the brain. In today's world we have disposable built-in obsolescence. A new brain and motor would have cost around $600, or brand new unit $1500 to $2000 depending. I figured I already have the thing mostly apart. I got to the brain which is the circuit board pulled it out get a quick Yelp search. And saw that E. Joseph electronics repairs had great reviews. I was soon to find out why. As an added bonus they're right next to my buddies epic barbecue restaurant Maple Block BBQ in Culver City. I went in and met Ned Joseph. Give him my circuit board he did a couple of tests with his meter, and he said, I think I know what's wrong. $45 and 24 hours later I picked it up. Went home plugged it in, and to my surprise and joy, lo and behold it's good as new :) As an added bonus, as it turns out Ned and his family know my mother's side of the family for more than 50 years. Coincidences are the Universe's way of staying anonymous.  Before you throw out that old piece of electronics that you like, spend a bunch of money you don't need to spend, take it over to Ned and tell him I sent you. read more

Ned Joseph is a fair, competent and kind expert in electronic repair. My receiver's video output HDMI port failed. He quickly remedied the problem and charged a very reasonable fee. We consume product like locusts, and throw away everything as soon as it breaks. Grateful for guys like Ned who can help us reduce unnecessary waste in the world! read more

Great experience! Knowledgeable about my situation and didn't try to take advantage of me! In fact, saved me money recommending I do the job differently! read more

My Technics 1200MK2 had an issue with the arm lowering onto the record so I searched far and wide for a repair location that would have both the knowledge and expertise to repair this turntable. I'm so fortunate to have met Ned (son of E) who was absolutely amazing in every way. Not only did Ned provide a fair estimate, but his hours allowed me to drop off the turntable early which was great for my schedule. Before I was at the office Ned sent a full estimate and indicated that the repair would be ready that morning by 11am. I was flabbergasted at the sense of urgency Ned displayed with the repair. He was thorough and efficient and within 3 hours the repair was completed after also balancing and cleaning the weights. I circled back to Ned repair center and after a quick test, approved of his expert craftsmanship. Ned's knowledge and expertise really shines bright and to top it off, Ned is as witty and kind natured as he is talented. I'm thankful to have met and worked with Ned and look forward to breaking something else that he can repair soon. read more

Ned is the BOMB! Or is the term "bomb" now considered passé? Anyway, whatever is equivalent, Ned is it! If you're looking for the old-style repair shop that either can fix most things, or if they can't, at least have enough knowledge on it to help you decide your best option for the broken item? Are you looking for someone who can repair not only recently made items, but also vintage electronics? Joseph E is that kind of place. Our PC died last night (wouldn't boot up) -- oh no! With all the scary online stories about hacking and malware being installed on your PC, I didn't want to bring in our PC to an unknown computer repair shop; as we would have to leave our PC with them and we have no idea if they would also be installing malware. So, I tried finding computer repair techs that would come on-site; in this way we can watch what they're doing with our PC. But for each of these firms, the reviews included some pretty scathing reviews. Thank goodness, I thought of calling Ned. I had still yet to actually go to his store and meet him. Of the several prior calls, he just gave me great advice so I didn't need to come in. Silly me, I didn't even realize that he also repairs PCs. I finally got to meet Ned in person too. Yea!! HAPPY ME!! NED IS AN ELECTRONICS GURU. HE IS THOROUGH, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SOOO TRUSTWORTHY. Examples of his knowledge and trustworthiness: #1 Instead of having me bring in my TV for repair due to vertical lines on the screen, he told me just get a new TV. The TV has reached it's lifespan. That all TVs now sold only have lifespans of 5-7 yrs, depending on usage. #2 Based on his knowledge from repairing multitudes of vacuum cleaners, I asked Ned which is the best and most reliable vacuum cleaner. I then purchased the Shark Navigator. Boy, Ned was 100% correct. I absolutely LOVE this vacuum cleaner. #3 Instead of having me bring in my stainless steel cooking pot to reattach the bakelite handle, Ned told me why bakelite material cannot be refastened to the pot. #4 Ned reviewed my PC today, and didn't even charge me :) For #1, #3 and #4, above, other shops would have used the opportunity to get money from me to "assess", then tell me the item cannot be repaired. Unfortunately, Ned had to give me the bad news for our PC: PC manufacturers deliberately discontinue parts such as mothers boards forcing you to buy a new PC (aka "built-in obsolescence"). Bummer. Even so, it's a great feeling that there's someone out there like Ned: he's knowledgeable about repairing electronics, and he's wonderfully trustworthy. He's "one of the good ones". read more

HIGHLY recommend going here for all electronics you'd rather fix than replace. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my record player and I wanted to take it to someone that had experience with them. Took my Crosley Dansette series record player to Joseph E and they helped me find a new power cord because turns out mine wasn't working and was the wrong voltage. Ned explained everything to me and we searched on amazon together because I wasn't sure what to buy. He was patient and kind. Came back a few days letter to confirm everything was good to go, tested the voltage, and it worked! I might have to come back for a faulty knob but he said there was no need to fix it now and it should work fine for a while which is fine with me if it means I don't absolutely have to spend the money. NED DIDN'T EVEN CHARGE ME FOR ANYTHING so I promised I would leave a good review as payment. Definitely coming back here anytime I need something electronic fixed. read more

SUPER friendly, personable, gentleman - easy to work with - diagnosed my tv issue in less than a day. I will bring all my repair work here in the future!! Thanks !! read more

My Brionvega TV thank's you! The remote control stopped working this week. One day it was working the other it was not. I noticed that the batteries were leaking fluid. So I tried using a Q-tip to clean some of the acid. Nothing. I found Joseph E's on yelp and called. He was friendly and very gracious as he offered to look at my remote control to see if he could fix it. I left it there and went to work. He called me one hour later and told me that he had done the repair. I went in and he showed me that all was well. I am absolutely glad I found this place! Highly recommended A+ service, A+ feedback. read more

I love going to see Ned! He fixed my mixer and he did a small soldering job for me. Great work, reasonable prices. I love to take things to Ned instead of throwing them away. read more

Great work, quickly done with fair pricing during the last 10 years. All this and friendly too.

My oil heater suddenly stopped working on a cold day. I called Joseph E and immediately brought in the unit. Ned was able to repair it with a good part and I was able to pick up the heater within 24 hours. Thank you very much for helping me out. read more

Great shop of the type that you don't find much anymore. I brought I vintage Dual turntable in for evaluation and possible repair. It took a little while and a few phone calls for Ned to give me an answer and I was a little concerned about where things were headed. However, the end result exceeded my expectations. He told me that the Dual was going to take a ridiculous amount of money and time to repair. So he offered to sell me a fully restored Technics turntable instead. He subtracted the inspection fee from the extremely-reasonable sales price, gave me back the Dual that I'd brought in, and now I have a beautifully restored vintage Technics turntable. I'll be back soon with a 1970s Yamaha receiver! read more

No receipt, no guarantee. Receiver repair didn't last worth a shit. Total shylox experience. Avoid like the plague.

After searching and calling many places, I finally found a place that could save my vintage Sony stereo system. The CD portion of it was "spitting out" CD's without playing them. So I this place and spoke with Ned, to whom I explained the issue, and he said he'd do all he can to save my unit. And save, he did. I think it was about a week until I picked it up. We played and tested it a bit before I took it back. To this day, it's working beautifully. Thank you so much Ned for all your help! PS: this review is about six months late. But as I'm writing this, my CD player still works so well !! read more

I wish I could give ten stars, this was an amazing experience! I came in with a vintage tube stereo system that was my late father's, and was sitting in dust and neglect for over 20 years. Not only is my new stereo up and working like I remember, but the whole time I had fun visiting, going over it, and learning about features I had no idea were part of the system. Courteous, honest, prompt and reasonable, if only there were more like this team out there. Thank you! read more

Wonderful repair store with a lovely proprietor! Fixed my antique record consol and got it working like new.

Fixed my two vacuum for a fair price. Super fast and reliable. Honest. It's been a few months now all works great.
