| Please read carefully! FIRSTLY, since I get so many telephone calls on this subject, NO, we do NOT work on TV's. My repair shop is very popular. I am well-known for doing high quality repair work, which takes time. My per-day working hours are restricted due to age (85); medical problems; and, need for an occasional life outside the repair shop. My doctors seem to have determined what my heart problem is, and I had a pacemaker installed on February 1st 2023, and this will take time to heal around the surgery and internal connections, and, they have not given me the go-ahead to increase my daily working hours, ...and, especially not, the weight I am allowed to carry or move about...which is now reduced further: capped at 10 pounds for the present time! I expect that I will get only limited work done in the shop until approximately Mid-March. The repair shop is smaller than when I did electronics repairs at So. Lake Tahoe for 48 years. The 'new' shop in Carson City has limited storage space for incoming or outgoing items ...thus I use a "WaitList" for incoming items. Please write down your WaitList number, and perhaps attach it to a tag on your item ...because I will likely ask for it ...if you telephone about your WaitList position. It's OK to phone to inquire about your position on the Wait List (8:30 am to 4 pm). As of 02/01/2023, I have been calling those put on the Wait List the 3rd week of September. Yes, I AM getting caught up faster... if you've been following this box of verbosity. <<<<After you are notified of your repair being completed, I appreciate you promptly picking up your item, due to our limited storage. As I get down to your name on the WaitList, I will telephone you to set a time and date to bring your item(s). If no answer, or you don't have an answering machine, I will use E-mail if I have your E address. I DO NOT sell, give out, spam, etc., anyone's E-address or phone numbers. Some people screen their phone calls and don't recognize our number, so they don't answer the phone…. and some have never set up voice mail messaging, so we cannot leave them a message. Sometimes we hear "voice mail box is full and can not take messages". |
THANKS FOR ALL THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN SO VERY PATIENT!
Fleischer Electronics Service is an old-fashioned service business, serving the greater Lake Tahoe to
Carson City, & Reno areas ...and far beyond ...since 1973. We moved the repair shop
from South Lake Tahoe to
Carson City in November 2019. We work on modern & vintage items: radios, HiFi, stereos, phonographs & turntables,
musicians electronics, and general electronics. We work on both vacuum tube & transistorized items, both analog and digital.
I stock an exceptionally large amount of very old, old, and newer common parts; and, branded parts.
This means I stock parts for radios and other electronics for items made in the 1920's, through today.

NO work on: I WILL NOT do 'warranty paperwork' for you. I normally DO NOT accept incoming- shipped items and I DO NOT do "return shipping" (except in rare circumstances by prior arrangement, or, just because I decide to, or not to). We accept cash. In our 48+ years at So. Lake Tahoe, and 3+ now in Carson City, we've never had cash bounce. WE DO NOT accept credit or debit cards, and are not too happy about accepting checks. SORRY, NO restroom is available. |
WARNING….your old or antique radio/ETC, contains "electrolytic capacitors", which can be, but not necessarily will be, ruined, if you plug the radio in and turn it on, if it has been sitting, UNpowered, for a long time (many months to years). My advice is to not do it, unless you have something like a Variac, that enables starting at a very low voltage, and, overnight, slowly increasing the voltage; or, if no Variac, you know and understand the trick of using progressive wattage incandescent light bulbs in the AC power circuit, in conjunction with an AC voltmeter, in powering it up; either of which methods can 'reform' the capacitors in most instances. Many of these capacitors are expensive and/or original types no longer available. Wrong initial powering-up can also cause capacitor bursting, and might even spray a corrosive substance. |
So, you finally have an appointment day & time to drop off (or, pick up) your item; ...now what?
(You might want to keep in mind that we DO NOT accept credit or debit cards and dislike checks)
Arriving:
Some maps and GPS's are WRONG about finding my address! Follow directions, below!
The electronics repair shop is located in my garage, located inside "Quail Run",
a 55+ gated community, a long-ago part of Heritage Park.
A small building with letters HP still exists at the corner of Saliman & Fairview.
My address is 1903 Teal Drive, located where Gambrel Drive meets Teal Drive, see below map.
DO NOT use what seems, on some maps and GPS, to be an entrance to this area from Saliman Rd.
DO USE the Bobwhite Drive entrance from Fairview Drive, see map, below.
From the mid-block corner of Bobwhite Drive and Fairview Drive, A FEW FEET after passing through the big open gate
on Bobwhite Drive, immediately turn RIGHT onto Bandtail Drive. You could also use Gambrel or Partridge, see the map below.
Parking areas:
(1) The most convenient place to park: on my driveway.
(2) Or, at the parking area on the left side of Teal Dr.
at the curve (at the postal boxes area);
(3) Or, at the parking area just barely past Gambrel Dr, on the left side of Teal Dr, just a few feet from my house/garage.
If I do not see your arrival within 1 minute and open the garage door, then phone me at 1-(775) 461-3530

Some of our test gear at one of our 4 messy workbenches at our prior So. Lake Tahoe address.
We have more test
equipment now, such as more analyzers, oscilloscopes, power supplies,
signal generators, etc. We sold-off a few pieces of test gear we no longer have use for.
Below are photos of the new Carson City shop
Inside shop storage............and..........outside storage building:
A professional 4 track recorder...we've done quite a few of these.
Many repair shops won't work on them after 'trying' to fix one.
We've also worked on MANY open reel recorders (we've had to stop working on the heaviest types).

For decades we did in & out of warranty service for Fender and many other brands. Warranty work is time-consuming; and, with paperwork, handling, & any receiving-shipping, it was always a PIA, so warranty work was often a money loser. Doing it now would cause price increases, so I do not. Of course, I guarantee my work for you! ******************************************** Our HINTS page covers speaker phasing, etc. I have added to that page now & then with things for musician's & HiFi/Stereo/HomeTheatre owners. If you have a subject you would like covered on the HINTS page, let me know! ********************************************
I DO NOT 'try to sell you' parts nor service that I think are a waste of your money. I sometimes recommend that I do not repair items you have brought to me, if I think you will have continuing problems in the future due to such as extreme aging or other reasons. I will even tell you if I think a repair is not worth the cost! ******************************************** I am not a retailer although I usually have some repaired items for sale, and I do supply parts to hobbyists, particularly so now that Radio Shack has mostly disappeared. Here is a link to our page of repaired & other items for sale, or trade, and I often some FREE things there too! THE PAGE DOES NOT COVER ALL WE HAVE FOR SALE (or TRADE, or for FREE) I SERVICE, Modify, Design, & REPAIR. I DO NOT DO FRETWORK & NECK WORK on guitars. There are nearby places that do, such as Legacy Music. I DO work on the electronics inside of guitars. Sometimes I teach/instruct wanna-be technicians on how to work on electronics ...mostly I do this in hopes that they will want to purchase my business; or, at least get started in a business that has been good to me for many decades, and which needs young blood. Some stores continue to send their repairs to me; especially the most difficult repairs. https://fleischerelectronicsservice.com/businessforsale.htm Very few knowledgeable/qualified technicians now work on older (or newer!) audio equipment, and I am constantly swamped with work, with an overly long backlog (Wait List). I'm over 85 y.o., and it's long past time that I sell and retire. I'm not going to be around for more than maybe another few years due to cancer and heart problems; and, am planning on further reducing my work schedule, due to my health, by Summer of 2023. The business is for sale. Parts, test gear, and other assets. Probably by Spring 2023 I will be vastly better caught-up...that means a MUCH shortened WaitList. If you are knowledgeable/experienced, and want to work part time (or even full time), this might be for you. I've reduced the price, so you will only need someplace between $10,000 and $15,000 for everything (and there is a WHOLE LOT of 'everything'). Price depends on how much 'help' you need to get established, and how much of the test equipment, tools and parts, workbenches, machinery, etc., that you actually take. Contact me if you, or someone you know, is interested in purchasing the business, assets, test equipment, parts, customer files, OR? Some training, if needed, can be included. Here's more: My wife, Penny, was a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate for children) in the SLT area for a long time. Member of Friends of the Library. Until mid-2019 we were actively volunteering our help for Bread & Broth at St. Theresa's; ....& Penny was volunteering for Meals on Wheels. Director of Bringing Art To Schools program (BATS). Volunteer at the Juvenile Treatment Center. Charter Member of the Lake Tahoe Ukulelians way back to when it was called the Tahoe Aunties! She is trying to get a ukulele group going in the Carson City area, & has played/sung at several senior's places, & volunteering at the Fremont school to help children with reading problems ...until the pandemic. She's getting involved again, such as with the School of Rock, now that the pandemic virus situation is easing, and is starting up a ukulele group, etc. We both have had our #1, #2, #3 and #4 Covid vaccinations, and I will get my 5th soon. We may re-join the Muscle-Powered bicycling & hiking group here in CC. Due to my age and physical problems I have given up backpacking & downhill skiing, and gave away my last pair of downhill skis, boots, most of my ski clothes, etc. We like Ballroom Dancing, concerts, travel, events. I don't often manage to do many of these things, due to my health. I've had a long life, many experiences, have a great wife, and, a few friends I am very thankful for. More on Charitable & other organizations we've been associated with: Sons In Retirement (SIRS): ....I was also their Webmaster.

I owned a part-time electronics repair business since my mid-teens when I was still in school, and later, college. Early-on I was employed as an electronics technician, and later as an electronics engineer. Upon receiving my MSEE, & prior to moving to Lake Tahoe, I was the Chief Engineer of Linear Corp. Having reached the position I always dreamed of, after a few years I left Los Angeles to enjoy outdoors life more. At Lake Tahoe I initially serviced TV's for two major resorts and did stereo & hi-fi repairs for local stores as a sub-contractor. I sometimes did electronics design work. BSEE (UCLA). MSEE (Stanford). Many decades working in electronics. Patents in electronics. Published in industry magazines, etc. Member IEE (now IEEE). Lots more boring-to-you stuff. Worked for other companies besides Linear? Yes... Douglas; Hughes Systems & Malibu Labs; BMW (motorcycles); RadioPlane; Telemeter Magnetics; Stoddart Aircraft Radio and Stoddart Electro-Systems; Medical Measurements Corp. Who designed, wrote the old HTML code, & maintains this lousy, trashy, messy, way-overly-wordy antique of a website? ME Grumpy? Seldom; unless you show up without an appointment!...or phone after hours...amazing how many DIScourteous people call me while I'm cooking, and at dinnertime. If I've had a bad day, YOU will get my grumpy-ness, unless I feel like being nice. Pricing & Policies: Licensed: State, City; FCC; etc. Served in the Military? I have had many hobbies & involvements ...photography, back-packing, flying, hot rods. I restored, rode & raced old motorcycles ....and sidecar rigs. I authored & still maintain a massive BMW m/c technical repairs website that is known all over the world. I was the traveling tech/fixer for BMW motorcycles (dealer level) on the West Coast. My BMW repairs site is: https://bmwmotorcycletech.info/. I am a well-known 'guru' for BMW bike repairs, had my own shop for many years. Earlier I was the head of the shop at a dealership. Most of my motorcycling was on 2 wheels, not 3. Photo below was one of my sidecar rigs that I built; and, yes, I've driven it to ski resorts. I have over 650,000 miles on BMW motorcycles, maybe 850K on all brands of bikes. I stopped riding in 2019 when my health problems increased. I greatly miss the fun/sport.
I was a pilot, and hold certificates (licenses) for a variety of aircraft types; and, for flight and ground instruction, ETC. I worked for two Agencies of the Government. WHEW! I try to play classical, jazz, and rock music on my piano. I used to be pretty good at it. Penny plays the ukulele. I do not have room for large machines in my present garage, so have given up being an amateur machinist. Gave up riding motorcycles too, due to health problems and no room to have even one. I very rarely fly airplanes now. It's too expensive.
