Don't you dare doing that. Never.

 

Oh dear! :-)

I kinda knew I would face the wrath of the message board for my suggestion.

But seriously though, if its only any good for spares it could be the only worthwhile way of keeping it alive. I wonder how many other empty cases there are lying about that have been canibalized for parts. At least this way these beautiful cases would see the light of day again!

Dont do anything stupid, we have to save these ikonic pieces, or get them into the hands of people who loves them, where are you situated, maybe we can find some help near you.

Please dont scrap them, maybe someone will be willing to give you another working system in change for yours, or try to sell them here on the forum.

Soren. I live in Cardiff,U.K. If there is anyone local who might be able to get them up and running, that would be great. Much as I like them, I cant really justify spending hundreds on a restoration though. Just to calm everyone down my t class amp idea really is a last resort if its totally unrepairable.

No need for a full restoration.

They could probably be going again by replacing two or three leaky capacitors.

Cheers joey, would be great if that was all it was. unfortunately i have no idea what youre talking about😕

Only joking, but what I'm saying is testing/ replacing capacitors is not something I would be comfortable doing so if anyone can suggest somewhere in south wales/ bristol area i could take it that would be fantastic.

I found this on t'internet.

Radfords Workshop is based in the Bristol shop. It is run by Alan Gardner who has been with the company since 1974. He specialises in repairs to all hi-fi and home cinema equipment except vision products (television, plasma, projectors etc). He is especially skilful with turntables, valve amplifiers and anything that might be described as 'exotic'. He also has an unimaginable number of manuals from pretty much every piece of electronics manufactured since 1974! Though none are for sale!!

Terms of payment: When you bring your equipment into the workshop there is a £20 deposit to be paid. If the repair is expected to cost more than £60 then Alan will contact you with an estimate. If it expected to be less than £60 then Alan will go ahead with the work.

If once you have had your estimate you decide not to get ahead with the work we are happy to give you a credit note for the purchase of new equipment to the value of £20 valid for 3 months.

Repairs usually take between 7 and 10 day working days (although can take much longer if parts are difficult to get hold of).

Guarantee Period: All repairs are guaranteed for 3 months.

Contact Information: Call Alan on 0117 9446 305 or email him at workshop@radfords.co.uk

If you would like an estimate please email workshop@radfords.co.uk with the following information and Alan will contact you with possible costs.

I never used them and I don't know if they are any good.

They should be able to get them going if that is all you require.

Your amp transplant idea sounds like the work of the devil!!!!!!😜

No, don't repair it, sell it! Picture first👍
