Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ?

Like tcscata, I live close to Orlando and was able to go to PK’s shop.  I had speakers completely restored over the course of part of 2018 and into 2019 as one needed some additional work.  I’ve read all of the comments and what I can tell you is that I had to stay on top of him the entire time with multiple trips to his shop.  He is not a bad guy, in fact he strikes me as a good hearted guy, but he has health issues in my opinion and pretty serious memory issues.  To the comment by another poster where he says he doesn’t do computers, I can validate that he doesn’t.  I know that sounds crazy but he doesn’t…I’ve seen how he interacts with technology, or absence of.  He does however know quads.  And he did a terrific job with my speakers.  But it was painful, and I am relatively local.  If you can get in front of him that helps a lot.  Of course that is very challenging for those who are a great distance away.  I am about two hours away and had to make about 5 trips.

There was a previous thread where the group apparently thought that Wayne Picquet was dead. . . he was apparently being sued by various parties for failure to deliver, and one guy said that he had died.  Regardless, I live about one hour from Orlando, and I was supposed to meet Mr Picquet at his shop, and the day of the meeting he never called to verify appointment location, and didn't answer my calls. . . it's all for the better, as I now own Sound Lab electrostatic speakers, which are worlds better than QUAD...

Don’t know.  It’s been a couple of years.

Sorry I got here late and the repair decisions have already been made but Russ Knotts at ESL Repair in Chardon, Ohio has replaced a number of panels in my 2905’s. It might be hard to persuade him to do future work on Quads as he’s getting a bit further up in years but he knows what he’s doing, without question. 

One thing I’d like to pass on which may extend the life of Quad ESL’s except for the 57’s, is to turn them off after you’re done playing them and then turn them on about a half hour before listening to them again. This will not work for the 57’s because they need about a day and a half to fully charge.

Good advice about extending the life of the panels of most Quads., Kent at Electrostatic Solutions instructed me to turn my 63's off when not using just as goofyfoot shared . I wonder if the 57's after being redone by Kent would still need the extended charge time ?
