Inside Groovecraft Turntable Works

Liverpool workshop bench with tools and test records

Groovecraft Turntable Works is a small Liverpool workshop focused on careful mechanical and electrical service for record players old and new. We listen first — to the symptoms you describe and to the deck itself — then document what we find before suggesting work. Many repairs involve thoughtful, reversible steps: cleaning dried grease, refreshing belts, aligning cartridges and quieting motors. For more involved cases, we map out options so you can decide what suits your deck and listening style. The aim is steady speed, low noise and an enjoyable, reliable spin for your records across the week.
