VTL information


I recently bought a pair of VTL Deluxe 240 monoblocks. The seller didn't have the owners manual. I contacted VTL and was told they don't have any information on amps that age (1993-1997). It has David Manley on the front of the amp too so I called them and was told they engineered them but they were made by VTL.  Although they were more helpful still now information. If someone could help me with any information I would greatly appreciate it. I want to get them serviced before trying them and am anxious to hear them.

Hard to believe that a reputable company wouldn't catalog and archive all information about past models, but it happens. From personal experience in the industry I know that Cartier watches for example would frequently tell me that they no longer had information about models that were 25 years old. That's hard to understand. It's not hard to keep a database.

It turns out that I did talk to Bea previously. She was much more helpful/pleasant this time. I still didn't get any info. She indicated that they didn't have an owners manual they furnished to purchasers back then. Seems odd...Maybe I don't need one. I must say that this forum has been very helpful even though I didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks everyone for your input. If anyone comes up with another idea please let me know.

The fact that these manufactures cant offer you a simple schematic is beyond me.

I believe thats a straight forward design so a good tech familiar with tubes.

I had the Vtl deluxe 300's tech repaired them in a heartbeat/

Good luck!
