Doctor Don
So for those of you who like to put a face to a name, the guy on the right there is Doctor Don himself, of Corvette Bose radio fame.
I live about 1.5 hours away so rather than ship my defunct amps to him I told him I would drive them up. He offered (and I happily accepted) to swap out the circuit boards for rebuilt ones while I waited, in effect doing a core swap. He has a great little shop piled high with car stereo components of every description, mostly Bose/Delco but other brands as well - in fact he was working on a 1940s car radio that had vacuum tubes! While he was swapping out my circuit boards he talked nonstop about himself, the radios, coronavirus, world politics, and some other things. He came across as a standup guy, a bit eccentric and very passionate (the latter two could describe a lot of us, I suspect!). I would go to him again in a heartbeat. (Mods - I don't see many people faces here so if I am breaching some kind of etiquette please delete this post.) |

Re: Doctor Don
Dr Don is the best, rebuilt my head unit and added the aux input on the cassette side so I could plug in an XM radio. It is hidden in the center console so everything looks stock while sounding amazing.

Re: Doctor Don
He previously repaired my Bose amps, and just last week he refurbished my CD player and tuner. He does nice work. Everything sounds great and works like it should. Fast turn-around too. Highly recommended.

Re: Doctor Don
Been with Don numerous times. He's the best I've seen! The systems he has repaired for me literally had what I would describe as "sparkling" sound. Extremely clean and bright.
Little known fact is that Don is also an accomplished musician and song writer. His "shop" is filled with lots of Marshall amps and stacks and recording gear. Don's the real deal! Sent from my SM-G950U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |
