Not only ARC company can't repair anymore amps. Pretty much all of them slowly declining. No new techs and old techs aren't forever.
ARC M300 MKII call for help
Help! I have a pair of Audio Research M300 MKII mono blocks from yesteryear, and have enjoyed them for many years. One of them has a short in the panel behind the tubes. The guys down at the factory just got back to me, saying that they can no longer repair this model, due to age and lack of parts. Can anyone out there steer me to someone who might be able to repair it? I can send pictures of the shorted out area. Would hate to retire these beautiful behemoths.

Greg Christensen was the responding repair team tech. He still had a record of a 2016 servicing of one of the mono blocks. Thanks for the suggestions. I will pursue and report back. Here is the correspondence from ARC. Dear Scott Summary: I see your amplifiers were last here in 2016 according to our records. Unfortunately we are no longer able to provide parts or service for the M300 or M300 mk2. Too many of the parts used in that model have become obsolete and we do not have modern replacement parts that will work in that design. I'm sorry to have to give you the bad news but I'm afraid we will not be able to work on this unit for you. Thank you, Greg Christensen |
Try to contact John Rutan at Audio Connection in NJ. He’s a long time ARC dealer and might know someone who can fix that amp. |
