About this resource
Audiowright Shop was established in Columbus, Ohio in 1992 by Michael Langhorst. Its about page describes his earlier work in retail audio service and at Crown International. The shop serves Central Ohio and accepts shipped repairs, with the homepage specifying the continental United States. Its location is in the Clintonville area of Columbus. [1] [2]
The service list includes stereo and home-theater receivers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, turntables, CD players, reel-to-reel and cassette decks, and speakers. Vintage restoration can involve cleaning controls and switches, recapping, replacing transistors and other updates. The shop also describes tuner alignment and says repair work is performed in house rather than contracted out or shipped elsewhere. [1] [2]
The repair workflow starts with a nonrefundable bench fee and an individual diagnosis and estimate; that fee is applied to an approved repair. Completed work is heat-run tested before collection notification. Local customers can use walk-in service or arrange a Columbus-area service call, while mailed jobs have a downloadable shipping form. Those policy and shipping sections are the practical starting points for evaluating whether a particular unit can be serviced. [1] [2]
