This company agreed to try and repair a rare 1990 Philips HiFi radio/cassette player out of a similarly rare 1990 Renault I own, which I shipped to them in March 2023.

Initially telling me to expect a two week turnaround, they then held the radio for three months with me repeatedly having to chase for updates.

A month in, they’d told me “We are making progress, we have cured two faults” without providing any detail of what they were, but admitted they’d not yet been able to resolve the issue I had actually asked them to repair (the radio display not appearing on the separate LCD screen, also sent).

Eventually when they shipped it back to me, telling me they hadn’t been able to fix this fault, it arrived poorly packaged resulting in the radio fascia being damaged with bits of broken plastic in the box. When I informed them of this, they offered to try and repair the damage if I sent it back to them. I decided against this, for obvious reasons.

Recently (hence the reason for this very late review), I decided to try and reinstall the in my car to see if there was any life left in it. It was only at this point I discovered that the LCD screen was broken internally, and the radio wiring no longer actually connected to the inside of the radio (which I can only presume had been done for testing purposes and left like that).

Effectively, the radio is now completely ruined. The only plus in all of this is that they didn’t charge me, presumably as they didn’t have to the gall to do so.

Photos show the unit before I sent it, and how it arrived back (note there was packaging in the box, albeit above the radio rather than around it, but it’s not shown in the photo).

I cannot thank Nova electronics enough, I was looking at having to buy a new PS2,000 fridge because the Circuit board had a fault, all parts was discontinued for this fridge so I was out of options for spares, I rang these guys and was told to bring the circuit board in to look at, the board was repaired while I waited and I put it back in the fridge an hour later. The repair cost me PS50 and now I have a fully working fridge again.

I’m very happy

Thanks guys

This place was a great find for me – took my dead 2000s-era powersupply and fixed it for 1/2 or 1/3rd of the replacement cost I was looking at, in less time than it would have taken me to get a new one shipped from the far east. Complete winner – thanks.
