Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G

@yogiboy

JP was on Audiogon awhile back, might still be here.  How do I describe him. Surfing scientist that has the technical skills and patience to fix some of the most difficult analog equipt known to man. Those that know JP, probably have a better description of him. Basically a nice guy who has great analog equipt and knows how to fix challenging gear. That’s it!

Find him at Fidelis Analog. He’s a qualified EE who may even have an affiliation with Technics. Among other things, he re-engineered the MN6042 chip needed to make the first generation Technics TTs run correctly using discrete parts on a PCB no bigger than an OEM MN6042 chip.

Whoops! Just looked at the website. JP closed Fidelis Analog in May.

Wow, that’s too bad. JP refurbished my EPA-100 in Feb, changing the bearings and wire and fixing the bias, among other things. It sounds wonderful. He did say he was going to close in April but I thought he meant for vacation. Now I feel extremely lucky.

Thanks!

JP Jones found the tiny flaw in a PCB that was causing my Victor TT101 to malfunction, after two other excellent techs could not. I then also bought his recreation of the MN6042 chip, which he installed in my SP10 mk3, even though the OEM chip was working fine (because JPs discrete version affords a small improvement in speed accuracy vs the original). So thanks, JP, wherever you are.
