ROCKDOG AMPLIFIER
REPAIRS
was established at Kiama Downs in 2002.
I had met Phil Haworth, owner of Haworth Guitars, when he was
selling and repairing guitars in the basement of his home. I
was working out of my garage in Nowra and had already been
repairing amps and building pedal boards for many years
when I dropped in to meet Phil in the hope he needed some one
to fix amps for him.
As it turned out he did and I left his place that day with a
couple of amps in the back of my car! Eventually Phil's
business outgrew his garage and he moved into a shop at the
Kiama Downs Shopping Centre. At his suggestion, I rented out
an adjacent shop that had become vacant and after a
few weeks or so I had built the workbenches, installed all my
test gear, set up my computer and had installed a comfortable
lounge in the customer waiting area. |

The vacant shop was transformed
into a very functional amp repair shop. Now, in true corporate
style, Haworth Guitars have expanded yet again and have moved from
Kiama Downs and are set to rule the world from their new mega store
at the Albion Park Industrial Park.
Even though it may be considered
by some to be a little out of the way, Kiama Downs has turned out to
be a great place to work. It's located about half way between Nowra
and Wollongong so is not too difficult for musicians from either of
these areas to get to. I also offer a drop off and pick up point at
Bulli, in Wollongong’s northern suburbs. (Please call or email for
details).
