I came across an old westinghouse record console w/ a small tube amp at a goodwill. I am going to suck it up and recap it. I got some info that makes the job less intimidating. It is a cool little amp with a copper plated chassis so it should look good cleaned up and mounted on a nice plank.

Very cool project! What does it have for output tubes? 6BE6's? Those are pretty common. Some of the bigger tubes are getting pricey.

It has two 6cu5's and a 12ax7 for the pre-amp.

ok you guys have inspired me to get my Pioneer amp fixed. Emailed one of the suggested repair places and the guy wont give me any sort of rough idea as to $$ I cant bring myself to bring it to him to fix without SOME sort of idea. For real....a little disappointed because of this I am afraid it could turn into worst case scenario....what if he fixes and calls me up and says "oh by the way the bill is $1,000"!?
Anyone actually have experience getting an amplifier repaired/restored that can offer any advice or any idea of what kind of bill I COULD expect? couple hundred, thousand? I have no clue and now I am a little irritated that I can't get any sort of ballpark figure. I need to know something in order to make my decision and sorry I have no intention of selling. It has too much sentimental value to me even if if doesn't work right!
Thanks.

It's pretty hard for a tech to give a price until he determines what part is not working. The guy in Newport was reasonable when he fixed mt Fender Super 60 and a Kenwood or Pioneer that I had, but I can't remember what the charge was. Seems like there were weak capacitors or something and he tuned it. I was pleased with his work. I think most techs willl charge for an examination and not do the work until you get a total and he gets an OK. |
