Hi All,
I am a tube amplifier tech who is now going into the business full
time for myself. I have worked with tube audio for almost 40 years and
know this equipment. My service is designed to fully electronically
restore an amplifier to reliable original working condition. A normal
refurbish will include replacement of power supply capacitors, coupling
capacitors, plate feed resistors as well as several other critical
components which tend to fail or drift in value, adversely affecting the
sonic qualities of the amplifier. I use all new parts, no old "junk box'
parts or 'pulls' from other amps. Prices for this service vary since I
will use standard components like Xicon or I.E. coupling capacitors and
clamp type power supply capacitors, or if you want to pay for it, I'll
install modern production metal FP type power supply cans and better
Auricap or Musicap coupling capacitors. Basic rebuilds for an amp like a
Scott 299C will run $205 using standard components. You can go as high
as you want by replacing the standard type capacitors and resistors with
more upscale components. I give the owner whatever he wants and is
willing to pay for. But, I also offer advice and alternatives to some of
these high priced components. Also, I know which amps can benefit from
such components and which really do not.
With respect to guitar amplifiers, I have rebuilt many by Gibson,
Fender, Ampeg, Sunn, Sound City, and Marshall. Guitar amps tend to
perform better with coupling capacitors that are different then what I
would use in a hifi amp. But, if you want your Sunn 200s or Ampeg B-15
to be loaded with the best of the best, I have no problem using
something like Musicap coupling capacitors and matched sets of resistors
in these amps. So, if you are looking for a person to rebuild your tube
amplifier, look no further.

No you don't.

I've already called you on two different mistakes you
made on alt.guitar.amps and alt.guitar.amplifiers,
and you ran away from both threads. You may know
something about "tube audio" but you know *squat*
about guitar amplifiers. I say you're a poser.

Hello,
I tried your link and it failed, could you send the updated link. I am interested in using your service. I have a HK A500 integrated amp that needs some refurbishing.
