Vintage audio service
A second life for vintage classics
Audio gear from the 70s, 80s and 90s can outperform many modern designs — as long as someone looks after its electronics. We replace dried-out capacitors, clean potentiometers and switches, restore the mechanics and finish with measurements so the specs return to factory values. We've brought amplifiers back to life after 40 years in a cupboard.

Replacement of worn electrolytic capacitors (recapping), potentiometer and switch cleaning, output stage repair, dial lamp and display restoration.
Polish vintage equipment
Unitra · Radmor · Diora · Fonica · Kasprzak
We repair Polish designs from the communist era — amplifiers, receivers, turntables and tape decks. Components replaced with modern equivalents while preserving the original character of the device.
Tube amplifiers and tube radios
Factory and DIY builds · power amplifiers · preamplifiers · tube radios
Tube matching and replacement, bias adjustment, power supply capacitor replacement, safety inspection — old power supplies can be dangerous for both the equipment and your home wiring.
Vintage turntables and tape decks
Direct Drive and Belt Drive turntables · cassette decks · reel-to-reel recorders · boomboxes
Drive belt and pinch roller replacement, tape path cleaning and alignment, mechanism lubrication, speed calibration, cartridge replacement and tonearm setup.
Every vintage restoration starts with a free diagnosis and an honest conversation: what is worth replacing right away, what can wait, and what is better left untouched so the device keeps its character.
Measurements, not guesswork
We repair based on measurements, we finish with listening
A good audio service doesn't swap parts on a hunch. Every device is diagnosed on professional measurement equipment, and after the repair we check not just the specs — but how the gear actually sounds.
Inside an amplifier on the bench — where we locate the fault and measure the whole signal path
Oscilloscopes and generators
We trace the signal through the entire audio chain — from input to output stage. We catch distortion, hum and instability you won't notice by ear alone.
ESR & capacitance meters
We test electrolytic capacitors — the most common cause of hum, crackle and power loss in older audio gear. We replace only the parts that are genuinely worn, not everything in sight.
Listening room
One of the few service centres with its own listening room. Before handover, your gear plays live in our workshop — because a measurement isn't everything, the sound matters too.
Precision electronics benches
SMD and through-hole soldering, IC replacement, multilayer board repair — the same workshop that services laptops and graphics cards.

You get the price after the diagnosis, before we touch anything. We only repair if you accept the quote — no surprises at the end.
Measurements, not guesswork
Oscilloscopes, signal generators and ESR meters — we diagnose with data. We replace what is actually faulty, not everything in sight.
Listening test before handover
After the repair your gear plays in our listening room. We verify not just the specs, but whether the sound is back on form.
Warranty up to 12 months
Electronics repairs come with up to 12 months of warranty on parts and workmanship — details in our service table. We issue VAT invoices.
Vintage and high-end experience
From 1980s Unitra to modern high-end. We also take on equipment other workshops turn away — rare models and old designs.
We issue VAT invoices — CSE Poland Sp. z o.o., VAT ID PL1133107861. We serve private clients and companies. We are an independent out-of-warranty service centre — not authorised by any audio equipment manufacturer.
I wholeheartedly recommend this service — great commitment, knowledge and effectiveness. Thank you for diagnosing and reviving an amplifier that hadn't been used for almost 40 years. CSE is the place to trust with your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about audio repair? We answer.
We've collected the questions we hear most often from owners of amplifiers, turntables and AV receivers. Didn't find your answer?
How much does an amplifier or audio equipment repair cost?
The cost depends on the device, the fault and parts availability, which is why diagnosis and quote are free. Once we've checked the device, we call you with a specific price — we only repair if you accept it. If you decide against the repair, you collect your equipment at no charge. Call: +48 512 800 030.
Do you repair vintage audio gear from the 70s, 80s and 90s?
Yes — it's one of our specialities. We replace dried-out capacitors (recapping), clean potentiometers and switches, and restore turntable and tape deck mechanics. We repair Japanese classics (Technics, Sansui, Akai, Pioneer) as well as Polish gear — Unitra, Radmor, Diora, Fonica. We've revived amplifiers unused for 40 years.
How long does an amplifier or receiver repair take?
Simple repairs (potentiometer cleaning, belt replacement, minor electronics) usually take a few business days. Repairs that require sourcing parts — especially for vintage and high-end gear — take longer. We confirm the exact turnaround after the free diagnosis.
Do you replace tubes in tube amplifiers?
Yes — we match and replace vacuum tubes, and after replacement we set the bias so the amplifier runs safely and sounds the way it should. We also repair power supplies, transformers and the rest of the electronics in tube amplifiers — Hi-Fi and guitar.
Do you repair and set up turntables?
Yes — we repair Belt Drive and Direct Drive turntables: belt and MM/MC cartridge replacement, motor and automation repair, speed calibration. We also do a full tonearm setup: tracking force, anti-skating and cartridge geometry.
Do you service home cinema AV receivers?
Yes — we repair stereo and multichannel AV receivers, including Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Pioneer, Marantz and Sony. Typical faults: the unit drops into protect mode, no sound on some channels, HDMI problems, dark display, freezing processor.
Why does my amplifier switch on and go into protect mode?
Protect mode is a safety feature — the amplifier has detected a problem and cut its outputs to protect your speakers. The most common causes are a damaged output stage, DC voltage on the output or a power supply fault. Don't ignore it: we measure, find the cause and repair it before your speakers suffer.
Why is one channel silent or crackling?
The usual culprits are dirty potentiometers and switches (typical in older gear), cold solder joints or a fault in one channel's signal path. Sometimes it's the output stage. We locate the cause with measurements — often a clean-up and regeneration is enough, with no expensive parts.
Do you repair stereo and mini systems?
Yes — we repair stereo and mini systems from Technics, Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic and others: power supply, amplifier, CD player, cassette mechanisms and displays. It's a common repair — these systems can serve for decades, and the fault is usually in a single module.
Do you repair loudspeakers?
Our core speciality is audio electronics — amplifiers, receivers, source components and the active parts of speakers (amplifier modules, crossovers). We take on driver repairs only to a limited extent — best to call and describe the fault, and we'll tell you straight whether we can help.
How do I safely ship an amplifier or turntable by courier?
Ideally in the original box or a sturdy carton with padding on all sides. In a tube amplifier, remove the tubes and wrap each one separately; in a turntable, remove the platter and secure the tonearm. We collect by DPD courier (20 PLN one way) — if in doubt, call us and we'll walk you through it. Order a courier online.
Do I get a warranty on the audio repair?
Yes — electronics repairs (component replacement, power supply repair, socket replacement) come with a 12-month warranty; cleaning and maintenance carry a 3-month warranty. You'll find the full breakdown in our service and warranty table. Every repair comes with a VAT invoice.
