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.

Greg is the real deal, so I'm sorry to hear ARC can't help you with the M300s.

Give True Sound in Campbell, CA a call. Ask for Nick. He will sometimes surprise you with what he can do.

If all else fails give Isaac Markowitz at ARC a call. He’s the sales rep for ARC and a great guy to deal with, if there’s anyway to get it done he’ll find out.

OP - Sorry to hear that those parts are no longer available - They have been in service a long time.  This forum is a great resource for locating parts & service.  

Good Luck!

(To those complaining/inferring "ARC won't repair...", please know that the M300 MkII Amps were introduced in 1987.   Have your Amps lasted that long?  I doubt it...Many companies are still working to resource their parts and accessories from 4 years ago (Pre-COVID).
