Hi, I will be closed from Monday the 9th of June until Monday the 15th of June. Holiday needed ….

I’ve got over 60 repairs on the racking currently. looking around 4 weeks for answers. If you are thinking of dropping repairs in try and hold off until mid-March if possible, thanks guys.
As I have a pair of these Rotel tuner amps in from the same customer, I thought I should sign the twin as I did last time.
I will be closing the workshop to the public on Christmas Eve and reopening on the 6th of January. Have a good Christmas, everyone.
So, a funny title, maybe. This is a condition that we (the electronics trade) are finding more and more with a certain area of the world manufacturing. There are a lot of issues with domestic speaker subs. After the amp boards within these units are produced, the manufacturer applies a compound to the boards, a type of glue/fixative. After a while, this bakes hard like a biscuit and turns to carbon like. In turn, it starts conducting electrical current. This is not a good thing, so it kills it. Sometimes, we can pick it all off and replace the faulty components, but sometimes not.
Carrying on with the restoration of this HMV music centre today, all the electronics done, bluetooth added and all the wood treated.
Some of the water marks go right through the veneer, adds a little patina maybe.
