 Appliance Parts
For your fridge, your oven, microwave, AC, and many other appliances, RepairClinic.com offers an amazing array of parts and accessories, plus lots of help on diagnosing the problem.
Audio Repair
"We have seen the future…and we can fix it" is the motto of Soundsmith, 914.739.2885, the single best place for audio repair we have found anywhere. That's why so many people send off their turntables, amps, speakers, receivers, DVD players, and VCRs to this Peekskill company – and have for over 30 years.
Furniture Repair
Mod Restoration, 47-20 3rd Ave. [47th/48th] Bklyn 347.442.1900, does all kinds of furniture repair, fixing up wood, leather, metal, and upholstery on most any kind of table, chair, sofa, bed, or entertainment center. They do pick-up and delivery as well as home consultations and repair.
Glass Repair
Apprenticed in a glass factory at age 15 in Czechoslovakia, Augustine Jochec is considered one of the best glass restorers anywhere. His business, Glass Restorations, 1597 York [84th/85th] 212.517.3287, has been in NYC since 1970. You can have your repair done fast or done right – Mr. Jochec, artisan that he is, will choose the latter every time.
Jewelry Repair
At Rissin's Jewelry Clinic, 10 W. 47th [5th/6th] Suite 902 212.575.1098, Joe Rissin repairs all kinds of jewelry, both fine and costume, as well as eyeglasses. He fabricates intricate clasps, too: "A good clasp is one you can hear click from 10 feet away," he says.
Lamp Repair
For rewiring and to have parts replaced, try Restoration and Design Studio, 249 E. 77th [2nd/3rd] 212.517.9742 or Oriental Lamp, 223 W. 79th [Bway/Amst] 212.873.0812 and 816 Lex [63rd] 212.832.8190.
 Porcelain Repair
With porcelain, there are two kinds of repair: "museum" and "commercial" – "museum" does the least amount of interfering with the piece, so you'll still see the cracks. When things break, wrap each piece separately so there is no grinding of the edges and take them to ARK Restoration, 252 W. 37th [7th/8th] 212.244.1028.
Reweavers
With colder weather on the horizon, you might want to get some of your sweaters patched up. Take any clothing with holes, tears, or rips to French-American Reweaving, 119 W. 57th [6th/7th] Room 1406, 212.765.4670. They've been giving new life to old fabric for decades. Call ahead to double-check their schedule.
