BEL 1001 service in 2013?


Shortly after Richard Brown died in 2009, I saw posted somewhere that someone in Southern CA had acquired the rights and/or designs, parts etc and was offering service of BEL amps.

Anybody know who that might be?

I have a 1001 Mark II. The power switch is failing. I now leave it on and power it on/off via the power strip switch. That gets me by but it would be nice to get it repaired.

If no such BEL specific servicer exists, any suggestions? I live in the SF Bay Area. Richard produced them in San Jose.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Thanks Weebeesdad. I drive my BEL with a Jolida Fusion tube pre and enjoy what I am hearing from the tube/SS combo. The BEL is probably the best piece of gear in my system. Got a good buy on a used one. Please keep us posted when your find service for yours.
+1 Weebeesdad. I own a BEL 1001 MK5. It is only 8 years old and in fine shape. However would like to know where it could be serviced if needed. It appears not to be a difficult amp to work on.

Would like to hear from other BEL owners regarding there experience with reliability.
