    My luvverly old Pioneer TX-9800 is in need of realignment, I think, it's recently been refusing to lock onto anything other than Radio 4, even though I know (from connecting another tuner) that I have a strong signal and the rooftop aerial has (finally, after weeks of being off-whack) been sorted.

    Anyone know somewhere in London who can do this kind of thing? Don't really want to have to ship it anywhere, it's a big beast.

    Looks like Bona Radios no longer exist...

    Thanks for the HFW tip Joolsburger, it'll be going in to the Vintage Wireless Company this week (also in Camden, oddly enough).

    Sorry Ian, i last spoke to them about a year ago, but just presumed they would still be going.

    Hope you get it sorted ok.

    No apology required old chap. I've had a quote of £45 for a realignment and once-over, doesn't seem too OTT.
