Hi, Does anybody know somebody who could do a competent job of servicing my audio innovation 500 series amplifier
The obvious person David Wright has retired so looking at alternatives preferably in the south east, but as I have the original
sculptured type double box I suppose posting is a possibility ( was going to post to david anyway ). As a little added on question
I was thinking of refreshing the valves ( around 4,500- 5000 hours on the clock ) at the moment, and just running the amp until
it stops working basically. Or is that not really realistic ? Many thanks for looking

You could also speak to Alan (firebottle) and Jez Arkless, both also of this forum.

Thanks Geoff, another possibility ?. Just to mention I also have the border patrol power supply, but David thought probably that
was not needed for servicing . I ve owned the combo around 3 years with possibly around 6.000 hours played. and its been a pleasure
to listen to in that time so would kinda like to keep and look after it !Thanks.
