While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Unfortunately did not read previous reviews before placing and paying for a circuit which was not delivered!
As with other reviewers my 2 emails and 3 telephone calls were ignored.
Made complaint to eBay and received a full refund.
For whatever reasons of non supply I do not recommend this site, as it has proven to be a waste of my time and money.

No Response to order or follow-up

Unfortunately i have to endorse the reviews below. Order placed on 14th Feb, no response to follow-up email, and phone straight to VM. There is still a message on the website that they were away until 23/12/23 and it is now February.

As this looks to be a one man business who has provided great service in the past for schematics, i hope nothing serious is up.

However until, if, or when this business is up and running again then BUYER BEWARE.

No response after payment

Paid for a schematic by PayPal, but didn't receive anything. No response from emails and the phone was just an answering service. Got a refund from PayPal.
Very poor and very disapponting.

It doesn't get any better than this!.....

The service which Mike ("The Code Machine") provided was remarkable!

Initially I ordered the wrong manual for my vintage record player, and when I explained my error and requirements to Mike he e-mailed the correct manuals to me within minutes, and declined to accept any further payment.

"The Code Machine" was a pleasure to deal with and enabled me to restore a vintage instrument to fully working order. 5 Star service in all respects. *****

Excellent service

I purchased schematics for a Sparton 667 from Mike and received very legible high quality documents in a very timely manner. He clearly cares about providing quality service and making sure you have what you need. Thanks again Mike!

Capehart 400G Schematics

Mike responded very quickly to my orders, which I really appreciate. His correspondence was cordial and concise.

Since the schematics were exactly what I was looking for, I can get started on my restoration project right away.
