The owner Brian is extremely knowledgeable about vintage equipment. He is a perfectionist with his restoration work and my pieces came back detailed too. They look brand new! Straight shooter, he will tell you if something isnt worth the time and money to repair or if it is worth refurbishing. Ill bring more pieces to him as needed.

Brian did an awesome job recapping and going over my Yamaha M-80 amplifier and C-60 pre-amp. He took way more time than he had to, to review with me what he had repaired on both pieces. When I arrived to pick them up, he had them running so I could hear for myself that they were now working flawlessly. I will continue to take gear to him for repair as I add to my collection. Dont waste his time or not take his advice, and you will have a very positive experience.

Very cool store, they have lots of retro everything. Games and memorabilia. However, I was very excited to get new batteries for my Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Crystal, only to figure out they were the wrong batteries when I tried to put them in.

Sadly, I feel it necessary to write a negative review regarding the vintage audio repair side of this particular business. As a long time collector of vintage gear I drove 45 minutes to take my Tandberg 3014 Dragon slayer cassette deck in for repair. Im assuming the individual I talked with was both the owner & repair tech. First time Ive ever experienced someone going out of there way to talk me out having Retro Addicts doing the work. Never experienced anything like it. Will not attempt to use them again nor will I recommend them. First time Ive ever written a 1 star review it was that bad of an experience.

Great place to pick up retro games, records, and almost anything old. They have a great prices and a large selection of items. It is unfortunate that right now only two people can be in the store, but that is completely understandable due to Covid-19. Would definitely recommend going!

Awful store, awful ownership, awful experience. I have NEVER left a negative review for any business, but this establishment has certainly earned it.To begin, the owner had us wait outside in the rain a half hour until two other customers were done shopping before unlocking the door. We were then told with an air of contempt that even though we were fully vaccinated, we could not enter without masking up, without sanitizing and without wearing gloves. So let me get this straight - I CAN eat in any restaurant I choose in any state I choose without enduring this charade, but I CANNOT thumb through 4 or 5 boxes of your overpriced Linda Ronstadt & Barry Manilow albums or $12.99 DVDs that they cant give away at the local flea market. Seriously? Is this being careful? Is this being considerate? I was careful and considerate when I got vaccinated. To make matters worse, we were the only ones in the store. How about paranoia or overkill?Okay, so we shrugged it off and courteously followed her request for this ridiculousness and entered the store. I had gone with the intent to shop for a new receiver and was ready to spend. I saw the electronics room was cordoned off and asked if I could enter. I was let in and saw maybe a half dozen cassette decks and EQs lining the bare shelves and had to listen to some guy who I presumed to be the owners partner, husband, or any assortment thereof, complain that he had too much work and if he just dusted units off and put them on the shelves he could get it all done. Nice way to instill confidence in a potential customer. Heres a newsflash - take one or two less cigarette breaks per hour and you may complete something!I wanted to like this place. I truly did. But I just cant. The owners attitude just would not allow it. And as with ANY review that doesnt meet this owners high opinion of herself (look for yourself), I fully expect her to come at me with a you are so selfish and its not all about you diatribe. But last time I checked, it IS all about me! Im the CUSTOMER!!! Something youve yet to learn with any degree of professionalism. And not only am I the customer, Im also the customer who WILL NOT be spending any money at your place of business and will advise anyone who will listen to steer clear of your rudeness and avoid your establishment at all costs. I recommend they spend their hard earned cash with those who appreciate and deserve your business, and that is certainly not here.

I’ve been in Retro 100 times and Brian and team have always taken the time to answer my questions thoroughly and enthusiastically. I’ve purchased a few items and had a pretty extensive restoration done on a receiver. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my vintage stereo equipment and you shouldn’t either.

I havent actually purchased anything from here ... YET but I do plan to. If you are looking for a great set of audio equipment such as turntables, stereo receivers, speakers, etc for your home audio needs then this is the place in the region to go to. The guy who operates this business is very knowledgeable and helpful. Hes great for asking questions and explaining things in plain easy to understand terms. He does an excellent job of refurbishing the retro audio equipment. Considering what you are buying and the refurbishing work that is going into each unit I think his prices are excellent. You definitely get what you pay for folks. If you want to set up a solid performing home audio set up for old those old records then come here and talk to the owner and look over what he has. I will definitely be back for my other components to add to my turntable.

My family and I were visiting this store to see what nostalgia would be held there, and I was astounded at how much vintage electronics they had! They didn’t just have electronics, however. They had all kinds of old and rare collectibles from the 80s and 90s! If you could name it, they will have it, literally.

Extremely pleased at the quality of work they do at this store. I gained highly valuable information about what I was purchasing (new stereo equipment) and am confident in knowing this equipment will last a very long time. Staff take extreme care in the restorations - if you care about what your sound systems can produce, go to Retro Addicts

I love this place! When my brother passed away, we took his 40 yr old Sansui receiver there. It had not worked in years, had just been sitting. And my brother lived on the Outer Banks, the climate down there kills everything! I wanted the receiver for sentimental value, then my neighbor told me about Retro Addicts. Well, I fully expected them to say, Lady, you got to be kidding, we cant fix this . But they did! All cleaned up and it sounds like heaven! So happy I found them! Brian is super nice too. You can tell he puts his heart in it! And I thank him from the bottom of mine!

We love Retro Addicts and visit there often. Great selection of higher end records, cds cool vintage toys and all kinds of retro games and systems. Also if you are in the market for any electronics ie: turntable reciever or repairs, I highly recommend talking to Brian. He is highly knowledgable and helpful with this. I have had him do multiple repair jobs for me and am always more than happy.

Brian and Mark are great guys. This store has a bit of everything- inventory constantly changes so you can always come back and find new stuff. The vintage electronics portion of the shop is the best in the area. They do very good quality repairs and service of vintage electronics as well. Ive had several of my units redone by them and they always get completed in a timely manner and look and sound wonderful. If youre in the area (Heck, even if youre not in the area....) stop by. Easy access off Route 30!!

If you are looking for QUALITY vintage audio, ..look no further.This is your place. Everything they work on is done in house!Thats right people! In house!Outstanding quality vintage vynil collection also!I have to honestly say that after going to this place and talking with these wonderful people who own this store, I will go back time and time again! My experience was exceptional because of two very important things that we as a people either have forgotten or just became apathetic to. Customer service and a moral sense of personal responsibility to the customer. Second, which I believe is most important is integrity. These you will not find at some giant box store or sitting behind a computer. The knowledge base is extremely impressive to say the least. (I spent at least two hours looking at all of their retro toys, t-shirts, video game consoles, cassette tapes, and vynil records.) Ill be back to this little gem of a store with friends.

I was in the area looking to pick up a sound bar for my TV and to have a better listening experience for music. I was at best buy slowly having my ear drumbs beaten to death by over priced poor preforming equipment when I remembered my friend had turned me on to older systems sounding better. And I remembered this store was close by. The owner was busy he seemed in a hurry to do something, when I annoyingly started just asking questions. He happily dropped everything for the next hour or so to talk me out of buying a more expensive Marantz unit. Who does that? Seriously I have no shortage of funds and this guy could of sold me a pile of poop and I would of bought it all. But he talked me into a modestly price unit, and some very simple but amazing speakers. He was right, so very very right. The Technics SA-5460 with the Pinnacle speakers blew me away. I can not describe the reproductive quality this system has. I got everything for less then what I was gonna buy one speaker for. If you need advice, if your curious about vintage equipment absolutely under no circumstances feel afraid to come in here. You will not be taken advantage of, and this man loves his product. Thank you.

You never see the same thing twice, at least I dont!Very home like environment, a little cramped if you want to put it that way but I think its just right. The staff are great to talk to and Im sure they can help you with any questions about your retro items.Their selection is amazing, from collectable figures like the Homies quarter machine toys, how can you not crack a smile at those things? Also including older games, stereo equipment, hot wheels, comics, and many other collectables.If youre in the area, Id highly recommend stopping in and just taking a look. As well as some of our reviews are written they cant do this place Justice in my eyes! Unique, love it!

All I can say is the guys at Retro Addicts really do know their vintage gear. Couldnt be happier with the service work on a vintage Luxman unit I took to them. Brian is very informative and honest when it comes to explaining what was wrong and the suggested route of repair. Will definately use them in the future for any old school stereo repairs I have; plus theres alot of unique vintage items throughout the store to browse and purchase. And as clean as the vintage stereo gear he sells is it could be mistaken for brand new!

I went in looking for a hard to find, albeit cheap, electronics part. They had some on the shelf and one was out of the packaging. The gentleman gave it to me free of charge. Now it was only $0.25, but its this kind of gesture that will be bringing me back for my more expensive projects or repairs.Thanks for the stellar service!
