Rega Turntable Servicing & Upgrades

Professional Care for Your Rega Turntable - Servicing £80 (Conditions Apply)

After five decades working with Rega turntables, we've learned exactly what these well-engineered decks need to perform at their best. A properly maintained Rega delivers the rhythmic engagement and musical timing that made you choose one in the first place.

Why Service Your Rega?

Roy Gandy designed Rega turntables to be reliable and long-lasting. They don't need constant attention, but they do respond beautifully to occasional expert care. We've serviced hundreds over the years, from vintage Planars to current models, and the improvements are consistently worthwhile.

What's Included in Our £80 Service

Precision Oil Treatment
We oil the bearing assembly with exactly the right amount in exactly the right place. The result is smoother, quieter operation you'll hear immediately.

Motor Inspection
Your motor is checked to ensure it's running properly. If replacement is needed, we fit original Rega parts.

Speed Calibration
Both 33⅓ and 45 RPM speeds are fine-tuned for pitch-perfect playback. Even small deviations affect timing and tone.

Tonearm Setup
We check and optimise balance, tracking force, anti-skating, and alignment. This ensures your cartridge tracks correctly and protects your records.

Audio Testing
Every serviced turntable is tested by ear before it returns to you. We listen to ensure the improvements are genuinely audible.

Turnaround Time

Service turnaround is typically 2-4 weeks, depending on our current workload. We'll give you a more accurate timeframe when you book.

Beyond Servicing: Cartridge Upgrades

The most significant upgrade for any Rega turntable is often the cartridge. We'll advise on what suits your system and listening preferences, then install it with precise alignment. Moving from an entry-level cartridge to something more refined can transform what you hear from your record collection.

Replacement Parts

When components need replacing, we source original Rega parts. This maintains your turntable's authenticity and ensures it continues performing as Roy Gandy intended.

How We Work

You can visit us in Norwich for a demonstration, or we can evaluate your turntable at home. Either way, we'll explain what we find and recommend only what's genuinely beneficial.

We're not here to sell unnecessary upgrades. Sometimes a turntable just needs proper servicing to continue performing beautifully. Other times, a new cartridge unlocks potential you didn't know was there. We'll help you understand which applies to your situation.

Booking Your Service

When you contact us to book, please have the following information ready:

• Make and model of your turntable
• Serial number (this helps us track your specific deck)
• Brief description of any specific concerns

We'll explain the complete process, keep you updated throughout, and ensure you know exactly what to expect.
