East Coast Service center referral needed for an ARC D-300.2 amp


Happy 2022 everyone!  I recently purchased a ARC D300.2 amp and would like to have it serviced; however, ARC has informed me that they will not service the piece any longer nor do they have any replacement parts for this amp.  the ARC rep did say that a skilled and qualified service tech will be able to rebuild or restore any parts that may need repair.  Please help me with some locations that will handle any repair or service issue and will have the ability to restore discontinued internal parts. 

 

thanks!

Not to bash ARC but telling you they can’t fix or restore your amp is something you’d rarely hear from the folks in Binghamton ....   

 

@oddiofyl

seriously now, ’not to bash’, or specifically to bash?  that is whole purpose you posting on this thread right?

how nice of you to drop by to chime in... twice 👍

On Monday i will give a call to the good but imperfect folks in Binghampton and ask a few questions: Do you have the following NOS parts in stock for my MC240 ? M-207A power transformer, M-210B output transformer, and more importantly a laser and servo for my MCD205 ? i want to thank you for the now decades old response to a request for a MX-110 selector switch…. The answer i got looks a whole lot like the ARC email, except it was…typed…on a…typewriter…

This is why i warn people to pick your audiogon expert w care…. some of us have been around the block…a few times….

but…..for work that the MC factory might not want to do and good techs on the E Coast, there is always Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. They have the skill to go thru the ARC amp and get it in tippy top shape. For a W Coast based Mac expert I strongly suggest Randy Vikan, he fixes factory defects in MC gear, will he did on my MR-85…. like i said, like all of us…good but imperfect..

Carry on

Jim

I recently had a power amp fuse holder assembly ( part of a circuit board, which I do not do any longer ), repaired and rebuilt by Kris Rhoades, proprietor of " Fine Tuned Audio ", located in Central Florida. He is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and so into tubes. He builds tube amps and preamps shown on his website, and are very reasonably priced.
