mikhay77 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hi all. I live in the Lincoln area and have a few valve amps that need repairing. Kelly 100watt,Simms watts 200watt,Trace elliot 400watt and a traynor 100watt. Anyone know of a reputable repairer? Thanks. Quote
skankdelvar Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 If you don't mind an hour's drive there's [url="http://www.chambonino.com/"]John Chambers[/url] in Nottingham. Did some work for me one time and it was good stuff. Quote
Roland Rock Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) John definitely knows his stuff. As far as I know he has scaled back his work a fair bit and you'll notice his contact details have been taken down 😞 Edited March 2, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote
mikhay77 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Yeh he doesnt seem to take on work at the mo. Just struggling. Dying art I suppose! Edited March 4, 2015 by mikhay77 Quote

[/quote] Could he not recommend a colleague, though..? He must know most, if not all, of the good repair men in the region..? It might be worth asking... Quote
GregBass Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Doesn't Mr Foxen on here do stuff with valve amps? Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Mr Foxen is out Bristol way, not that handy for Lincoln Quote

[/quote] From his contact page: [quote] Please understand that I am on my own here….doing all the work ... looking after my 83 year old Mum, doing the shopping and washing etc [i]Contact is temporarily disabled to family commitments.[/i] [/quote] Sounds like he's got problems familiar to many of us of a certain age. @ OP - I should have checked John's site before I recommended him. Sorry about that. Quote
pete.young Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 If you can make it as far as Ipswich, I recommend Dave Parker , http://www.guitarlodge.co.uk/ . He's done servicing work for me on Burman and made a good job of it. When I was there, he was rebuilding an original Ampeg flip-top. Turn around was pretty good - a couple of weeks. Quote
mikhay77 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Will have a word in the local music shops and see if they have any local contacts. Might just bang em on ebay for spares or repair. lol Quote
BILL POSTERS Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 If your not in a hurry, and you can get them to me near Lichfield, I can do them for you. Moving house is imminent though so it would have to wait till thats sorted. Quote
