xverminate2 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi, I'm considering having this great amp serviced as I now have a spare amp. Does anybody have any information on price/turnround /what the service involves. Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartkeUK Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi Greg, It is difficult to 'service' electronic equipment as they do not suffer from mechanical issues like a car etc. The only thing that could be done is to check the solder joints and maybe the sockets etc. I would suggest that if there are no problems with the amp then I would leave it as it is.

I have to fiddle with the biamp/full range switch or power off and the back on. Imight try some switch cleaner. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
