| Please read carefully! I stock an exceptionally large amount and number of common parts, and, brand parts. This means I stock parts for radios and other electronics for items made in the 1920's, through today. My repair shop is very popular. I try to do very high quality repair work. My per-day working hours (which is less than 'we are open hours') are restricted due to age (85); numerous medical problems; and, need for an occasional life outside the repair shop. My doctors are NOT likely to give me the go-ahead to increase my work amount, ...and, especially not, the weight I am allowed to carry or move about. Due to the medical problems, primarily, I had accumulated a very long WaitList. I expect/hope that most of the medical problems will be resolved by mid-December 2022, after which I will be able to get caught-up faster. 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 (10:30 am to 4 pm, please). As of 11/12/2022, I am working on items placed on the WaitList at the very end of May, 2022. I expect to finish all May items by the end of November. I expect to begin faster catching up, beginning around mid-December 2022. Still, it is going to take a long time until I am on something like a week or two turn-around. <<<<After you are notified of your repair being completed, I appreciate you promptly picking up your item, due to our very 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. Some have their phones set up so we hear a "voice mail is full, can't take messages". Whether or not I can leave you a message, I stop trying to reach you after a minimum of 3 tries at differing hours/days. |
THANKS FOR BEING 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.
|
NO work on: I WILL NOT do 'warranty paperwork' for you. I DO NOT accept incoming- shipped items and I DO NOT do "return shipping" (except in rare circumstances by prior arrangement). We accept cash. In our 48+ years at So. Lake Tahoe, and 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. |
You must have a specific day and time appointment to be here! Phone: 1-(775) 461-3530
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 Bob's house/garage.

Just SOME of our test gear at one of our workbenches at our prior So. Lake Tahoe address. We have even more test
equipment now.
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.

For decades we did in & out of warranty service for Fender-owned 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. In fact, I sometimes recommend that I do not repair items customers bring me, as I may think they will cause you problems for the future. I stock quality parts including vacuum tubes ...that I know from experience & testing ...hold up to the stresses of musician's use. I also stock a lot of antique radio tubes. I have a variety of selected tube brands because no single brand of vacuum tubes always provides the quality and specifications I want. You are unlikely to find out about this from any other service source. Free advice on maintenance & use of your equipment. See my HINTS page! We offer tube matching & bias services. Want to know the truth about operation of vacuum tubes, such as fixed versus cathode bias on output stages? Standby switch sequence operation versus tube life (a bit of a lengthy story)? You may ask me specific questions about vacuum tubes and use of your equipment, and I will try to clear up misinformation and outright hype found on social media and in manufacturer and sales department literature. ******************************************** 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 NO LONGER 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. Some stores continue to send their repairs to us; especially the most difficult ones, it seems. 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 well over 80 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 my cancer and heart problems; and, am planning on "nearly" retiring due to my health, by Summer of 2023. So, the business is for sale. Parts, test gear, and other assets, included. From Jan. 2023 I may occasionally take on a small to modest job, when I feel up to it. If the business, or assets, do not sell by sometime in 2023, I MIGHT simply 'close the doors'....or?? 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 am going to get my 5th. 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. I left Los Angeles to enjoy outdoors life more. At Lake Tahoe I initially serviced TV's for two major resorts. I did stereo & hi-fi repairs for local stores as a sub-contractor and I did contracted electronics design work. I expanded my repair center. My employees and I did nearly all the electronics work within ~80 miles, from a building on Washington Ave; and later in a larger building behind Kings Center. HiFi, Stereo & other electronics repairs; design & installing sound systems in homes, businesses & churches. We sold & installed car stereos as Ultimate Auto Stereo from a separate building. We did an increasing amount of repairs & modifications for musicians. I eventually moved the repair business to a large private garage to avoid drop-in customers, which distracted us from our work and nearly caused me to have to hire a receptionist/greeter/secretary. That move kept costs down & I kept my substantially lower prices, & that has remained-so. Today, the company consists of just me, working part-time, which keeps me from getting bored ...and annoying Penny. It pays for utilities and some few of my medical bills. I'm NOT interested in working full time. The business has been for sale, but the only 'listing' is in this website, link is in the lower left side column. Pass the word, you could earn some referral $, if a deal is done. 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. 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 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 sport.
I was a pilot, and hold certificates (licenses) for a variety of aircraft types; and, for flight and ground instruction. I also 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 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.
