Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help

Merganser

Sorry,but you are a bit oversensitive regarding my contribution.Seems like you are a MF fan,nothing wrong with that,they make good stuff.
Now,concerning my "little digs" , as you call it.One months use before repairs are needed,is not acceptable,for any piece of equipment.This is an expensive amplifier.Sam Tellig is a big MF fan, go and read a bit...it is a fact."Belie your envy",no not really,very happy with my equipment.Not likely to ever go to MF as the local importers pricing is way to high and the back up/service is also not good.
So not trying to second guess Washlines purchase.Fact is it is still not working...and I really think he wants it fixed.

So,actually we are really batting for the same team....

Washline,I hope you get the amp fixed,soon.

Hope this clarifies matters.

Bluebull,

I'm a fan of a lot of gear and very aware of Sam Tellig's affections. I'm also glad you're happy with your choices, sorry if I misunderstood a few of your comments. We both know this kind of thing can happen with any piece of gear, it shouldn't, but stuff happens. I think we'd both agree at this point that Washline needs to get the amp to an authorized service center before somebody screws it up further.

Best Regards,
Merganser

Why don't you have the dealer who sold it to you off the internet get it fixed? Or is this guy not an authorized MF dealer? This sucks. You bought it new, it should be warrantied.

Will be an expensive endeavour to send back to the net dealer,whether guaranteed or not,as the amp is neither small or light.Still think the best to have it repaired in Korea by MF importers,if represented there.Do not know if they are or whether they would repair a "Grey " import.Still there must be a capable amp repair shop there.Perhaps should try someone else,locally.These things happen....(My Merc E320 needed a new engine at 28000 km ,factory fault.Should not happen but does.Sold the Merc.)

Let us know how you are progressing,Washline

Dear Wasline,
It is called 5703 tube. Tube world sells them for 9.99. They are still used in microphones. Frankly I would be suspicious of the tech who told you they went bad. If they did there is probably something very wrong with the amp.
