BEL amp repairs

If Brooks Berdan is no longer repairing BEL amps you may want to try Audiogon member Bigkidz who I believe repairs and modifies them. He has recently posted regarding his experience using the 1001. I have an original Mark I version which I am considering re capping and perhaps modifying so I would be interested to know if you have any success with either of the two repair sources. Good luck!

My curiosity got the better of me so I had to find out what this amp is all about…. Geebus, it seems like this thing was built in someone’s basement or something…. 🥴🤪.  It doesn’t look all that complicated.

Here is my 2 cents on the thing…  first try Chris Johnson of Parts Connexion; he is the former Owner and creator of Sonic Frontiers, Anthem and Assemblage.  He has an electronic parts biz, and he fixes and modifies gear.  He is a smart dude.  I recently bought some seriously suped-up and completely refurb’d Power 3 tube amps from him and the labor rate I seem to remember was right at $75/hour.  Email him, and describe your problem to him.  I’m fairly certain he can fix it up good for you and upgrade the caps, resistors and wiring to give you a better amp..  Good luck.  

The last I heard, Brooks Berdan, Ltd. serviced BEL amps

Sorry, I meant is servicing.
