Valve Hi-fi Amplifier Repairs & Service
WE REGRET THAT, DUE TO A LONG WAITING LIST, WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW BOOKINGS - PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR OUR LATEST STATUS
PRICING STRUCTURE
Hourly rate: £75.00.
My minimum charge is for one hour. This is the charge for setting up the amplifier on the bench, removing panels and chassis to determine the nature of the fault. This will enable me to arrive at an initial diagnosis and contact you to discuss the cost implications of subsequent repairs and replacement parts.
If, after the diagnostic period, I believe a repair to be uneconomical, I will advise you of this and you will be charged only for one hour's work.
Full Service:
- Integrated hi-fi amps - from 2 hours labour plus parts
- Monoblocks - from 3 hours labour per pair plus parts
This may vary depending upon the amp make and model - please
contact us for details.
Standalone valve test: please contact us.
This largely depends on the type of test you are looking for, if it is a simple good/worn/fail test and matching score then a minimum charge applies. If your require a PC/TC test with label and documentation so you can sell a valve with confidence then the test will be more expensive and depends on the valve type, please note valves such as 845s, 2A3s, 300Bs etc. are very time consuming to setup and test.
