Spectron Audio Out Of Business?

Would like to pick up this conversation again. I had been a very happy owner of the Spectron Musician III Mk2 SE till one channel died on me a few weeks ago. Looks like it is impossible to have the amp repaired and even the used ones are very hard to find nowadays.  For replacement, I wonder if the current generation of Class D amps are just as good or better, e.g. Purifi 1ET7040SA  or GaN FET based amps. Any thoughts?  

I, too, have a Spectron with unserviceable channel.  I originally bought 2 of the Musician III Mk2 amps with Bybees.  One had a channel go out and sent whole amp to Spectron back when.   Less than two years later that channel again went out.  I was in email contact then, 2015, with Manh, and was going to send in the channel.   He had suggested I swap locations, which I did and amp again worked for a time before the problem module again went out.   When I tried to reach Manh, Spectron was done.   I have kept this "paperweight" in case my other Spectron has a similar problem and could use the working module on the amp not in use.  

I was reviewing my correspondence with Manh and recall that I had some issues reinstalling the pins from the module back into the amp.   I now wonder whether something like Caig DeoxIT cleaner/conditioner might prove helpful for some of these channel problems. I also recall there was a period of time recommended to allow the capacitors to discharge.   I remember doubling that period before opening the amp.   I did get a significant arc that scared the ++++ out of me.   I let the damn thing sit another 30 days before going in again.

Hi Folks!

After speaking with an audiophile who owns a Mk2 stereo Spectron, who’s also a technician, he gave me a rundown on Mr Manh. He’d been in touch with him and he informed me that Manh had gone to work with the military. 
 

This technician was the one who actually had the idea to create a capacitor bank filled with many capacitors rather than some large ones. He shared his idea with Spectron, and viola, they decided to create amps for the Mk2 versions that way. 
 

But also, he informed me that Manh gave him a wiring diagram (electronic layout) of the Spectron amps since he decided to move on with his career. Would this wiring diagram assist anyone in getting their amp repaired?

If so, I’ll be happy to put you in touch with him.
