Shake me up Judy Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I wondered if anyone still did audio repairs on the Island ? I've got a couple of old valve amps that have packed up. Would love to get them reconditioned. Perhaps there's someone out there ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy, especially if you need new valves although some are still available. (Starts Drooling) Any pictures or reference info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I recently moved my Free stat box, one of the wires has come loose, l managed to pop it back into the connector, its the wire connection to my satellite dish. Question l have, l occasionally lose bbc 1,2 itv 3, 4 and 5 until l reposition wire. Is it possible to put a new connector on it without calling a TV engineer? Hope this makes sense? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you Lilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valve amps are generally pretty robust - but if it’s getting on a bit, the capacitors are probably leaking and the resistors have maybe overheated. If you’re lucky, the valves themselves will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
