Radio Repair Shops?

[N4GIX]

I have two radios that are in need of repair:

1. Kenwood TMV-7A - the LCD screen needs replacement
2. ADI AT-600 - the VHF receiver has lost audio

Does anyone know where I could have these repaired? The TMV-7A still works quite well, but not being able to decipher the hyroglypic display makes it pretty much useless.

For the Kenwood, try either the Kenwood Pacific or East service centers or Avvid.

Go to eHam.net Home - Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) Community Site and click on reviews (left side) then to Amateur Radio Equipment Repair... Find one (with a good score) that suits you best.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, no one seems to have replacement parts any longer. I did find a link via google for a software program that will allow a computer to control the TM-V7A for base use so perhaps that's one way to get some use out of it still. Aside from the stupid display, the rest of the radio is in perfect condition!

The real pity is that even though Kenwood acknowledges that it was a fatal design flaw, they never made any effort at engineering a replacement that worked. They did free repairs up until 2009, but that's of no use whatever to those of us who have had things go pear-shaped in the years since.
