VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks

Could anyone recommend someone that could work on VTL 300 Deluxe? They are currently working. I power them up with a variac so the caps don’t blow. However, they should be updated with new caps, internal wiring, etc. I don’t feel competent to DIY this,
so am looking for a professional. BTW, VTL will no longer do work on them. I guess they want me to go buy one of their newer models.

I have the VTL book. If you need a few page scans, let me know.

Thanks so much! I’ve not seen the book. Is there a section on the MB300 Deluxe that would have a schematic?

I rebuilt a pair of VTL 300 Deluxe, I still have them as a matter of fact.

The little electrolytic that run the power tube rails will swell, the coupling caps unless you buy some good ones leave them alone.. The box decoupling caps, You can't get them any more, the little frequency collection caps are of pretty good quality. I used TRT .01 630 volt or something.. Been a while.. But I'm telling you if you exchange the gray box 1.0 decoupling caps.. You better use good ones.. They may look weird, but they sound great..

Heavy suckers. I still have a full set of KT90s VTL blue, rare now.

Why do you need a schematic? Straight forward as can be..

Bea can be a difficult person to deal with anyways.. Your not missing anything.. LOL

VTL is to far from me, actually..

Mike Samra if he's still fixing stuff.. He's in Saginaw..
