FAQ - Questions and answers for Service
Q: Can you give information about possible defects or the repair costs in advance?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot determine the fault by remote diagnosis. We therefore ask you to send the device to our factory and central service in Villingen, Germany or to hand it in personally. We will check the defective device/part in detail upon receipt and then get back to you with a cost estimate.
Q: Can I simply send my device in for repair?
A: You are welcome to send your device to our factory and central service in Villingen for repair. Please send your device only in the original packaging. If you no longer have the original packaging, you can order it from us for a fee. When sending in the A 700 tape recorder, please note that we no longer have the original packaging for this unit in stock. Please pack this unit yourself with care and be sure to send it only on a pallet and by freight forwarding. If you want to send in a turntable, please remove the cover and the turntable beforehand and tighten the three transport securing screws.

Our service technicians will check your device with the utmost care in order to be able to determine all faults and the resulting costs for the repair. You will receive a cost estimate from us within 3-4 weeks after receipt of the device. We ask that you avoid inquiries about the status of the cost estimate during this time, as this will cause further delays.
