Repair Café x NVHR

Help with small repairs and tuning your equipment, in collaboration with the Dutch Association for the History of Radio (NVHR).

During the Haarlem Vinyl Festival, we join forces with the Dutch Association for the History of Radio (NVHR) for a special initiative: a Repair Café in the foyer of PHIL.

The NVHR is an association of enthusiasts and specialists in the field of historical radio and audio equipment. They are dedicated to the preservation, knowledge, and restoration of old radios, amplifiers, turntables, and other audio devices.

During the festival weekend – Saturday, September 27 and Sunday 28 – you can visit for:

• Minor repairs to your turntable or other audio equipment (free of charge)
• Advice and explanations from specialists
• Assistance with setting up your turntable and needle
• Parts at cost price, if needed for the repair

Also present is Pickupnaalden-shop.nl, the Dutch webshop specialized in needles, cartridges, and accessories for turntables. They offer expert advice and have a wide range of parts readily available.

Simultaneously, in the same foyer, there will be a freely accessible label market, where independent labels offer their finest releases. Perfect for enjoying your records again right after a quick repair.

Whether you are a seasoned audiophile or have just purchased your first turntable: everyone is welcome!
