I met Tom McGuire at AES today, and I can now assure everyone that he is completely serious about repairing the Lexicon stuff...seems very knowledgeable.

But he does have a big backlog on the bench right now, so until that clears, things will take a bit of time to complete.

And remember, many of these units could be simply unrepairable.





Oh, by the way, he sends a photo message...



Signed, Tom.

Awesome!!!!

I really really hope he can get it up and running, otherwise I may have to do something with my hallway.
The wife will be soooo happy...........Not!

Thanks.

Did Tom work out? Have you received your unit? Fixed or permanently effed?

[C.Cash]

16 months and nothing.

Cant get through on the phone and no emails answered.

Clifford,

Sorry to hear about the neglect you are receiving.

I re-read the thread and saw that you had no signal and no remote action. This is probably due to the cheap connectors in the power supply. Mine had this too. It isn't a big deal to fix.

If you ever get yours back, I can have a look at it for you.

Good Luck!

Come on Tom,
            You are making all us repair people look bad.
I know Lexicons are difficult to work on, but if you have a problem, talk to your client. The client has the right to take his unit away if you are not going to follow through. I note you are advertising Lexicon repairs, if you can't do them for whatever reason then man up.

Thanks,

If I do get in touch with him I will ask for it back.

Hopefully I will see Tom AGAIN at AES in SF...over a year later!

Come on Tom McGuire.

Cliff, I've been meaning to ask about this recently.  I still haven't found anyone I feel good about sending my old Lexicon stuff to yet, but maybe someone will step up.

[radardoug]

I'm happy to step up, but I live in New Zealand, and them old Lexicons cost a lot to post! But if you have faulty single cards for the 224 or 480, you could send them. I have both, and all the circuits and diagnostic software.

There are some good reports of this guy from prodigy pro.

(edit BP)
---Long post explaining similar frustrations with trying to have a 480-L repaired.---

[bruno putzeys]

Had to do a bit of an extreme edit on the previous post. It was from someone with a post count of exactly one who may well have had legitimate concerns with the repairsman discussed, but went on to accuse him of bad faith in a heavily google-baited style.

[compasspnt]

I read that post before it was edited, and Lawrence had a problem similar to Clifford's, ie no response from Tom Maguire.

I hereby publicly urge Tom Maguire to contact Clifford, Lawrence, and any others waiting.

Lexicon repair threatens to become a lost art. Tom Maguire, people need you.

[Lawrence Sanchez]

I understand my post being deleted. The purpose of my post was to inform people of my experience with Tom Maguire so that they might know what to expect if they decide to send their gear to him for repair.

Suffice it to say here then that it's been over 2 years since I sent my Lexicon 480-L to Tom for repair and he hasn't returned it. My requests for him to send it back to me have been ignored and it's been months since he's responded to my emails and phone calls.
