Roland Updating Service Question

I owned Model 6's and I am not aware of any updates available for the amps, but perhaps there are? Rowland for a time offered, for the Models 8 and 9, conversion of the battery power supplies into switching power supplies. In addition, base Models 8 and 9 could be upgraded to "ti" status. However, I am not aware of any such upgrades for the Model 6's. To what do you refer?

I was informed that they can be sent in for replacing caps resistors and any components that looked stressed out; I have not talked directly to Roland as of yet but I will call now to see if the service does in fact exist.
The person I was talking with seemed very knowledgable about the service as he had his model 5's done;however he could have been wrong.

Raquel-you are correct they only offer upgrades for the 5's and 7's;not the model 6.
I am sorry for a incorrect post.

Given the high build quality of the Model 6/2 amps and fact that most were manufactured only ten years ago or so, it is quite unlikely that the caps on your amps need replacing - depending upon how many hours an amp has seen, caps can easily last 15 to 20 years, and often much longer.

Take the top off of your amps (after disconnecting the power cords and the battery power supplies, if you have batteries) and look at the caps - if any of them seem to be misshapen or look like they are leaking, then replace them. This can be done by any experienced tech and should not cost more than $500, and probably much less - unless there is something unusual about their design that I'm not aware of, there should be no need to ship them off to Rowland for something as simple as replacing caps.

Raquel-I can handle that with no problem but I would have been interested in a overhaul with new caps,resistors,and output devices if they would have offered the service;maybe I can get prints for them and even do it myself when the time comes.
