Technics 1210 Local Service & Maintenance Including Cost
It is as important as a mixing desk, you need to make sure it’s spinning properly and that all adjustments are working. We see many decks where the height adjusters are stuck, or the decks are not braking correctly. If your deck has been dropped or suffered damage causing the platter to kind of bounce back and forth it’s likely a damaged motor. Generally we’re able to repair these without replacement.

Technics 1210 service & Repair costs
The below are our guide prices for standard workshop repairs and servicing for DJ Decks. As deck varies with fault the prices are to be used as a reference guide only and no guarantee of availability of parts. We don’t undervalue our service as we believe to be far superior than other repairers, our attention to detail and going the extra mile are standard. We handle many hundreds of Technics decks a year, posted, taxi’d or brought in and always give the best experience.
Please note that these are our minimum charged costs and will apply once equipment is brought to the workshop and booked into the system as “received at workshop”. This simply means that this charge applies if we look at the equipment and either it is totally wrecked and or beyond economical repair, it also applies if we are unable to find a fault as it is out time spent investigating and proving by measurements and testing to electronic specifications. In most instances for straight forward repairs the hour is the most you’ll pay but this entirely depends on the fault and equipment.
