WE REPAIR/REFURBISH MOST POWER AMPLIFIERS OF  60 WATTS RMS  PER CHANNEL OR LESS, FOR A FIXED PRICE OF £99.00 PER AMPLIFIER.  
This now includes FREE  return courier charges and 6 months warranty!

Our standard service includes PAT test, troubleshooting, replacement of faulty and out-of-tolerance components, (resistors, capacitors, transistors, diode rectifiers, standard ICs), full performance check, soak test and labour. There are no hidden extra charges for our standard service!  We can quote you for modification work such as new sockets, transformer replacement, etc., to total redesign work.

 
You can drop off your your amplifier to our workshops or send via courier which ever option is most convenient to you.

To send your equipment via courier, pack it in a double walled box with plenty of infill material. We cannot be held responsible for damage during transit so please pack your equipment carefully.

You may be surprised how cost effective courier charges are  in the U.K. Click on the link below for more information on packing and sending your amplifier.

Hints on how to send your amplifier for repair.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Due to difficulty in sourcing obsolete components and/or the cost of labour and parts for large non-UK made vintage HI-FI amplifiers;

  1. We do not service modern class D surround sound amplifiers of any wattage.

  2.  We no longer repair vintage amplifiers over 100 watts per channel into any load.  For example an amplifier capable of providing 100 watts or more into 8, or 4 ohms can no longer be serviced by us.

  3. We do not service large four channel quadraphonic amplifiers.

  4. In a few isolated cases, a repair might require expensive replacement components such as, mains and output transformers, sets of valves, hard to source matched sets of power transistors and mosfets, large computer grade capacitors, and maker-specific hardware e.g. special switches non-standard pots etc. These items due to their cost and availability are not included in the £99.00 standard price. If this situation arises we will inform you prior to carrying out any work.

Please phone Amplabs on 01905 821737 stating your make, model and symptoms for specific advice.
