How it works
No surprises on the price and no waiting in the dark — the status is online at any time.
Two minutes on the form. You immediately receive a service card number and a PIN.
I open it up, test it, and send you a quote with an exact price and timeline. Nothing starts without your approval.
Book a repairI repair it, test it for 48 hours and call you. You pay on collection, once you have seen it working.
It started with a broken SNES in the attic and a bad idea about fixing it. Twenty years later, more than 2000 devices have passed through the workshop — from NES cartridges to full-size arcade cabinets.
I use original or equivalent components, photograph every step, and never start a repair before you have approved the quote.
A few of the devices that recently went through the workshop.
Yellowed shell, dead save battery, noisy video. Retrobrighted case, new CR2032 holder, RGB output.
Would not read discs and ran hot. New laser, fresh thermal paste, cleaned power supply.
HDMI port burnt out after a storm. Port replaced, connector reballed, tested for 48 hours.
Dead CRT, sticky buttons. Chassis recapped, new microswitches, cabinet repainted.
Indicative prices. I give you the exact figure after diagnostics, and you approve it.

Full restoration to near-factory condition — shell, electronics and modifications.
Prices are in BGN and exclude parts. Diagnostics costs 20 BGN and is deducted from the repair.
I brought in a console that had not powered on since 2004. I got it back working, cleaner than I remember it new, and with RGB output on top.
The official service centre quoted me the price of a new console. Here I paid a third of that and got a warranty.
I followed the cabinet restoration online, step by step. I never once had to call and ask where things stood.
Not finding your answer? Call me — I answer the phone too.
Diagnostics costs 20 BGN and is deducted from the repair price if you go ahead. If you decline, you only pay for the diagnostics.
Cleaning and servicing — 2 to 4 days. Component-level repair — 5 to 10 days. Full restoration or an arcade cabinet — 3 weeks and up.
6 months on the work performed and the parts fitted. It does not cover new physical damage or work done by another shop.
Yes. Send it by courier to the address in the Contact section. Pack it well and include a note with your name and phone — the card number is issued on arrival.
Original parts when they are available, quality equivalents when they are not. I always tell you which one is going into your device beforehand.
Cash or card on site, or bank transfer. You pay on collection, after you have seen the device working.
No. If the device has internal memory or a card, I do not touch it without your explicit permission. Back it up before you bring the device in.
If the device cannot be repaired, you pay only for the diagnostics and get everything back, disassembled parts included.
