He said, "We're good," but I took in the two dollars the next day because I want to keep going back!

Not only were they rude, arrogant and telling untruths from the get go, they seemed to just grab a price out of thin air and quotes me that number. I walked over to Ifix never having been here before, and found the employees to be professional honest and easy to work with. The glass was ordered and although it took a bit longer to arrive, the work was done correctly. Unfortunately, the mouse USB was left at iFix and realized it hours later. When I called it was confirmed the USB was there and Lucas dropped it off at my home. What awesome customer service. For future needs I will be going directly back to iFix and would recommend you go there as well for your phone, tablet and computer needs.

I've been searching online and the boring box stores for some good inexpensive quality speakers for…read moremy personal laptop setup. Fortunately, I decided to venture down a search into the more local small businesses and came upon this cool old school & quirky shop. I think the gentleman's name was Jim. Older dude that could pass as your nerdy techy friend who's probably collected every tech gadget since the original Tron came out. Told him what I was looking for but I gradually got discouraged as all he was showing me were the bigger style bigger sound units that are common for home systems. But, alas! With a little patience we revealed a new treasure: smaller desk top speakers! Minor speaker mesh stains on the front but super decent with a little TLC. He was super friendly and chill, even making an effort to find parts that could potentially be missing from this set (like compatible power cord). It also came with an amp box that I've got sitting below my desk table, which was a nice surprise (I keep it plugged in for the deeper sounds or just unplugged for more "regular(?)" crispy audio). All that for a really awesome deal; I think it was something like $15-30 or something crazy like that. Good shit, dude! Thank you. If you're looking for small speakers, I probably snagged the last set but I definitely recommend this place for any help with acheiving 2 things at once: reusing/upcycling any sort of old working electronics and supporting a damn good local friendly small business.

I took it to another shop in Portland, which not only didn't fix it, but completely bricked it and told me it would never be able to work again.

And for a completely reasonable price. I couldn't recommend his services more. Thank you, Bill!

In order to fix my old Marantz, he went back and got the specs, explained to me the challenges and walked me through what his plan was (perfectly executed I might add). He is clear, honest, passionate and loves his work. I hope he continues to do it because I felt it was, at times, as if I was asking a famous architect to build a book shelf but Bill was always responsive, thoughtful, patient and very professional. He is truly a Portland gem. I feel incredibly lucky to have met him and to have him take care of my various problems with my system. Than you, Bill!!!

United Radio Supply. That sounds important. This electronics distributor, now going by URS, is a…read morewalk-in supplier of tools, cable and a selection of electronics parts. Klein Tools, many made in the USA. They have items like a flameless heat gun, which could go well with their contactless infrared thermometers. They stock plenty of datacom cables and parts, routers and hubs, HDMI and other video cables. They also have heat shrink tubing. Don't forget the awesome Elenco Snap Circuits for kids! URS stocks some Spark Fun Arduino and Lilypad Arduino items! They also have LED strips. Those are all pretty useful things you will not find in retail stores in Portland! The universe of electronics parts is huge now, and it is difficult for local suppliers to stock. So their actual parts selection is small. They have blister packed 74xx and the like, and a few bulk resistors, capacitors and LED's. But they are a good place to check if you can't wait on remote suppliers for something you need now!

The guy who waited on us knew what he was doing and smart and friendly made the experience that much better. I can't say enough good things about him or our experience here today. Need electronics? Choose this one, even if you have to drive a little farther. It'll be worth it.

Finally got the call from Mike, drove the 5 hours to Clackamas and picked up my Kenwood KR-8010…read more While there I also dropped off a Pioneer SX-1280. Got home, hooked it up and once again....I could not be happier with the quality of service and workmanship. They replaced parts on the tuner board of the Kenwood, and it is once again pulling in stations that I did not know existed with crystal clear clarity and the stereo separation that I've come to expect from Kenwood. Yes...it took a long time before it made it to the bench to get worked on but I have ZERO issues with the wait. Why? Because they are very busy. Why? Because they are the best. Mike, Lloyd and the rest of the boys at Inner Sound know their doo doo.
