I'm sure any competent electronics engineer could fix it, and make it reliable.

Ah, I see. Wonder what's causing it to go wrong so often?Originally Posted by jamie123
Anyway, the components inside alone are probably worth £100, so regardless, it's still a bargain, especially as Jez, or one of our other resident EEs would sort it!

I'm jamie.
sorry i got it wrong,ive copied this from another site which clears things up,
It has never been back to NVA for repair .
it was sold to an ex-friend of the docs, Alan Brown for a much reduced price on the grounds it was a prototype and would never be sold .
when Brown tried to sell it ,doc warned potential purchasers that the seller had broken an agreement , it was never meant for resale and to discourage the sale said he would never service it or mend it .
Low and behold it broke shorltly after sale and this is were we are .Ninanina and colin and soverign are fully aware it cannot be returned to NVA for repair and were arses for buying it and re-selling it .
This is a prototype model not for sale or re-sale .

Selling items is always tricky..
The NVA has been offered to Al so he has first refusal on the amp, I think that's the proper and correct way of doing things
I have PM'd Al and also emailed him directly
I think I'll give it until 23:00 tonight and if I havn't heard back from Al by then the amp will be offered to the next interested person, which is Kev at the moment
Do you all think that is a 'fair' way of handling things?

I'm confused at to how there is no interest in someone's working Hafler amp at £50 but loads in a spares or repair at £100
