VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks

I rebuilt a pair of VTL 300 Deluxe, I still have them as a matter of fact.

The little electrolytic that run the power tube rails will swell, the coupling caps unless you buy some good ones leave them alone.. The box decoupling caps, You can't get them any more, the little frequency collection caps are of pretty good quality. I used TRT .01 630 volt or something.. Been a while.. But I'm telling you if you exchange the gray box 1.0 decoupling caps.. You better use good ones.. They may look weird, but they sound great..

Heavy suckers. I still have a full set of KT90s VTL blue, rare now.

Why do you need a schematic? Straight forward as can be..

Bea can be a difficult person to deal with anyways.. Your not missing anything.. LOL

VTL is to far from me, actually..

Mike Samra if he's still fixing stuff.. He's in Saginaw..

Regards

no excuse not to repair your beloved amps.  

The kind of money VTL charges should come with the courtesy of service long after the.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

LOL You don't know Bea very well do you? She is something to deal with..

Error correction too. I got the decoupling mixed up with coupling caps, the box caps are coupling (bi-direction), the electrolytics were decoupling (directional).

Manley amps is not VTL, different company.

Bea Lam Are you Bea Lam? Manager, Operations at VTL Amplifiers

Bea Lam is a Manager, Operations at VTL Amplifiers based in Chino, California. Bea received a Beatrice Lam degree from VTL Amplifiers Inc.

Eventually by early 1993 the Manley line and the record label became full-fledged business in their own right, by which time it was decided that father and son would part ways and run companies and better focus in their own chosen directions: David to start Manley Labs and Luke to continue on with VTL.

Bea is right here in Chico 60 miles away.. Like I said.. I’ve never done business with Eva Manley.

Bea lam was married to Luke Manley (David’s son) and she’s a total jerk to deal with. She is the reason you can’t get the work done.. The place is overran with warranty, and under 30 year old gear, being upgraded. They WILL not send out parts, schematics or tech support.. You HAVE to send it in..

I’ve never seen them turn away work though, ever.. She could squeeze a nickel until the buffalo $hits. Usually 1-3 week turn around, they were FAST. I had their 750s and 1250 Wotans prototypes, I actually did Beta testing for both. What energy sucking PIGS..

I don’t think VTL sells an amp under 10K any more. Manley does. Pretty special, little Manley amps..

VTL, no thanks, just because of Bea.. They will not send you a part or a stitch of help.. Money grubbin'

180 from the new or the old Cary.. If they have the parts, they will send them to you..

Regards

LOL so you do know Bea,  OP.

I had Wotan, like serial number X3 and 4 or something like that. I was running them on 220/240. I'm not kidding I had a 200.00 a month increase in PG&E, when I started with them being wired at 120.

220/240 was a vast improvement in my PG&E and SQ. The problem was it took 3 trips to get it right... I wound up dropping them off in Aspin. 
Man could they heat up a whole house.. Good place for them too..
