They did an amazing job refurbishing a vintage Lenco turntable (from around 1980). In its day it was an amazing turntable. Over the years it had developed hums and noise from the platter - to the point where I wasnt using it. I took it home and plugged it in and it is quiet, and the sound is as good (and probably better) than when I took it out of its original packing! I took the turntable home, plugged it in, and placed a recording of a solo Bach Partita for Harpsichord on the table. I chose it because it will expose any extra sound issues as well or better than anything. To make it a tougher test, this record (published by the Smithsonian) has probably only been played a couple of times since purchasing it in the mid-70s. Any extra sound could not be blamed on the record. There was NO EXTRA SOUNDS coming from the turntable. No hums. No buzzes. Minimum turntable rumble. I listened to a recording that sounded exactly as it should have sounded. I can only surmise that this outcome is due to the workmanship of the folks at Galaxy. They also have a selection of used equipment (turntables, receivers, speakers, amps, pre-amps, etc.) at reasonable prices. Next time that I need to replace some components, you can bet that I will be returning. They are personable. They are knowledgeable. They got my repair done in less than a week. The price was right. You can tell that they love what they do. They provide service with a smile. What more can a consumer ask for? Other than pay them for the work that they did (which I did) I need to thank them. Hopefully this review will do that.

Vince is a true master of all things Hi-Fi equipment. He brought my prized vintage components back to life to once again spin my vinyl and fill our home with rich sounds from Mose Allison to Led Zeppelin. I have bought components from him including his store brand speakers (with Paradigm innards!) at excellent prices. Hes an honest, hard-working mensch who will offer great products, service, and knowledge. Vince is a genuine Pittsburgh treasure.

Im not very handy so when I tried to properly balance my turntable tone arm after purchasing a new cartridge, I couldnt do it. One unnamed location in the North Hills, made my feel stupid when I called so I refused to go there. I had heard about Galaxie from friends and made the trip to Squirrel Hill. Vince balanced the tone arm was very engaging and respectful. No charge. Wow! My new go to place for repairs to my vintage audio equipment.

Vince was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered a fair price for a beautifully restored turntable I bought. It was obvious he cares a lot about his work and takes an interest in each item he sells or fixes. The turntable was a birthday present for a friend, who absolutely loves it! I would recommend Galaxie Electronics to anyone looking to buy a high quality player or get a beloved one repaired. :) Thanks Vince!

Shops like this dont exist anymore. Galaxie electronics is a unicorn. The best customer service and expertise for miles and miles around. Vincent is passionate about what he does and will steer you right, no matter what. A genuinely good guy. Honest, trustworthy, and quality work. I cannot say enough good things about this business. Give him a call, you wont be disappointed. This is the place to go.

This place is great!! Vince gets all my gear up to par!! I would not have the vintage systems I do if not for this place. He fixed 2 pairs of vintage advents (Loudspeakers & 4002s), a Turntable, 3 receivers (Realistic STA-78, Sherwood s-8800, and Sony str-5800sd) and is now fixing the famous BIC T-4m 2 speed cassette deck. I will not take my stuff anywhere but here as long as it stays open!!!!!

My old Pioneer SX-650 was experiencing some problems. I knew Vince was the best guy in Pittsburgh for fixing old equipment so I dropped it off. I received it within a reasonable time sounding better than ever, would definitely recommend Galaxie to anyone for vintage electronics repair. Guys and shops like his are hard to come by!

Very quick fix of two music boxes that no longer played, one old, and, really ice people! Highly recommend this electronics repair shop..

Vince repaired my cassette duplicator when no one else could. I owe him my life...or maybe just the affordable rate he charged me.

Joshua Juda
