Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 Repair Help

Hi All,

I just purchased an obviously used Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 amp serial number 774 and I am super psyched to finally own a John Iverson design.

Before plugging it in I opened it up. It looks nasty in there! Looks like both capacitors (both 80000MFD) are leaking, and that there was a serious short at the RCA outs. Also it looks like the top lid has been bent in enough to make contact with the terminals of the capacitors.

www.eagle-audio.com seems to be out of commission. Does anyone out there know of a dependable repair guru for these amps? Does anyone have schematics or a list of parts that I can purchase and try to fix this thing myself?

Does anyone know more about these amps and John Iverson.

Please be in touch!

Best,
Brett

are you sure EKSC is out of bus?  No mention of it on their web site. It's a real shame if true.  

If you can get Russ to work it over you'll be miles ahead. I would also recommend having it upgraded to an Eagle 2C' spec if you can spare the cash.

I suspect eksc is a one man shop now and may be affected by vacations and the like.  Russ always returned my calls and emails, sometimes taking a few days. If you can be patient he's great.  I'm sure there are other shops that can repair it though if you can't get Russ.
