Philips Philicorda Service:

This unit came in rather dirty, but was working, it just needed a service mainly because many keys were either not working or not playing all their respective octaves.

The pots were all extremely scratchy as well.

Its all been sorted and sounding perfect again.

Some of the issues we found that required repairs are shown below:
