TVM Audio Visual

Back on it with repairs this week, a re-cap of this leak delta 30. All back good again.

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.

Getting on well with the pro audio list this week, plenty on the shelves to keep us going.

Nice outcome with this Dual 505 turntable, repairs, and little restoration.

There are lots of repairs waiting action in the workshop. Realistically, any item coming in after today (22nd of November) may not make the bench until the new year unless it’s something really silly like “have you plugged it in” Dave & Geoff are getting on well with the list though.

Marshall JTM30 repair and rebuild, I gave up on washing it and ended up with a re-cover.

The workshop will be closed from Monday the 14th of October and back open Monday the 21st of October.
