vintage equipment repair
Thanks for your responses so far, people. Much appreciated! Bombaywalla - I was a skeptic about vintage gear myself, actually...until i got a few pieces of my own, that is. When I got my Sansui up and running last year, i couldn't believe how good it sounded (as good or better than my Sugden integrated. Ok, let's just call it 'different', but equally good). I had forgotten about the forums at Canuckaudiomart... i'll try there as well. Hopefully, I can find someone who specializes in older gear like this...love it so much! |
Loose, don't waste your energy or typing time trying to convince Buconero117. Not worth your time. Let him be happy with what he has (& you be happy with what you have). Pity that he had nothing to contribute to this thread but had to blurt out some garbage... I do not know if these guys can help you but try: http://www.oaktreevintage.com/repair_links_outside.htm http://www.oldsoundequipment.com/ http://www.soundsclassic.com/ |
Why would you want to repair a forty year old unit? Cost wise, it would be foolish. Today there are many integrates that far out perform your unit, and would cost less then a repair. The going rate for any electronic tech, who knows what they are doing, is $100 per hour, with generally a one hour minimum. So throw in shipping and a search for matching parts and you have a no win. Buy a new unit and look forward to another forty years of great listening. |
