Acoustat electrosts


hey anybody know where i can get my acoustats upgraded? i'm looking for the medallion upgrade and i'd like to get the caps upgraded. i think the panels are ok for now. i have model IIIs - Los Angeles area would be ideal but anywhere that does a good job is ok. rockford isn't doing work on these anymore, by the way.

HEY, me again. Thanks for your responses. Drrasta, i tried musicalconcepts but they wont work on the acoustats. however, I did find someone who came highly recommended over at Rockford so if anyone wants this info email me. he has rebuilt many acoustats and seems to know what he's talking about. also, i have learned of some pretty cool (and expensive) all-silver caps that a guy is using in his rebuilts that he swears by. eddie: i think the servo plan is too expensive for me and i dont hve the space...some day, though.
The going rate for a used pair of Acoustat x's with servo tube amps is 700-1200 bucks. The parts bill for the amp upgrades is about $500.00. The work is easy, but time consuming. Contact me if you locate the amps; I'd be happy to help with the mods list. Good luck! Ed
hey eddie, this solution is interesting now: i didn't realize how cheap the x's were. how much do you think id have to put into mods to get them sounding better than my model 3s would sound with the medallion mod? I have found someone to do that mod for $700 plus maybe 200 for extra stuff i'd supply like cardas wire, silver caps, etc.
thanks!
Your model 3's will sound better than the x's. The idea is to obtain the tube amps, modify and upgrade them, and connect them directly to your 3's. I have a pair of the amps running Acoustat 8's. It's a wow! Ed
