It is with great sorrow that we announce our founder, Jim Showker, passed away on Friday, March 30th, 2018. He will be dearly missed. Jim’s son, Justin, and the rest of the staff here at Vintage Stereos intend to carry on his work into the future. While we will continue to sell parts, we will no longer be able to repair Kenwoods.

Our friends at AudioKarma have set up a thread to commemorate Jim’s contributions to the on-line Sansui community. The thread can be found at this link. We appreciate your kind words and condolences.

Thank you for your continued support!

Welcome to our website, we offer Restoration and Repair Service for all the Kenwood Hybrid Transceivers/Amateur Radios/Ham Radios as well as Parts to help you DIY. We bring these models back to their original specs and performance standards. I am Jim, KE7OAY. I have been licensed since 1961 when I got my Novice ticket at the age of 12. I hold an Amateur Extra Class license, as well as most every other FCC license at one point or another in my life, such as a 1st class Radiotelephone W/ Radar Endorsement. I have worked for 35 years as a design engineer in the pro-audio world, designing RF communication systems as well as audio gear. I founded ATK Audiotek Corp in 1983. In my younger years/college I worked in broadcast as an engineer in charge for several different AM/FM stations.

My two sons work with me doing restoration and repair. We also restore Sansui Quad stereo gear, as you can see at our sister site, www.QRXrestore.com. We also make a pro audio product at www.AudienceReactionPedal.com. We take what we do very seriously, and have an impeccable reputation. We stand behind our work and your satisfaction is our most important product.
