Am looking for a tech to work on my really old equipment AND
daveretired I think ARC still services your gear.Have used ARC for repairs before, but hear they are not doing the old tube stuff anymore |
Agree with cleeds. Call ARC and ask for Greg, who took over after Kal retired. The only caveat is that with this COVID business going on, ARC may not have quick turn-around. You may also consider asking ARC to refer you to a local (or at least closer) authorized ARC repair station. There used to be an ARC authorized tech located in Jenkintown, PA, but he retired a year or so ago. The tech used to make house calls, which was great because my ARC gear weighs a ton. Last suggestion is to call Overture, which is an authorized ARC dealer and is located in Delaware. One of the folks there may be able to refer you to a reliable tech. On balance, I like the idea of having your gear scrubbed by ARC, … if they will service it. Your gear is long in the tooth and ARC can bring it up to original factory spec. Stay safe and healthy, BIF |
I'm in central Delaware. I helped a friend find a tech to help him with a solid state Carver amp, vintage mid 1980's. He repaired it and it works fine. My buddy then took a circa 1950's, George Jetson stereo console to him to repair the turn table and a couple of odther things and he did exactly what was asked. https://www.electronicrepairsvcs.com/It's an interesting operation and I first had reservations but he seems to be able to do the job! PM me and I can elaborate regarding my overall take on this establishment. |
I recently had some work done by Ben at High End Audio Repair in Brooklyn, NY. He is an ARC authorized repair tech, did great work at what I thought was very reasonable all things considered. You can look him up and give him a call, you can mention that he recently did work on a 5se pre for me. http://www.highendaudiorepair.com/audio-research-arc.html |
