San Francisco Synthworks is a Palestinian-American owned synthesizer and drum machine repair shop in San Francisco, California, specializing in vintage analog equipment.
We focus on full restorations and consignment projects for classic analog synths and drum machines.
Vintage/Classic Analog Equipment (Pre-1986)
Bench Fee: $200
Hourly Rate: $150
Our bench fee covers initial inspection and diagnostics. Minor repairs are included in this fee. If your equipment requires more extensive work, we'll provide a detailed quote for the full repair after the initial inspection. The bench fee will be applied toward the total cost of the repair.
We offer professional assembly and testing services for DIY synthesizer and drum machine kits. With extensive experience building professional-quality machines, we specialize in kits from DinSync (RE-303, RE-909, and more), Black Corporation, Buchla clones, and other premium manufacturers.

Modern Synths · Small Repairs · Calibrations · How-Tos
We host regular pop-up synth clinics to build and support the local artist community while providing accessible service for modern synthesizers. These clinics are perfect for smaller repairs, calibrations, quick fixes, and hands-on how-to sessions where you can learn basic maintenance and repair techniques.
Our clinics are donation-based, making synth repair and knowledge accessible to everyone in the local artist community. Email clinic[at]sfsynthworks[dot]com with information on your synth needs to join our mailing list for upcoming clinic dates and locations.
