Valve/Tube amp repairers / modifiers (UK)?

[RockAddict]

Hi all...

The "tinkerer's urge" is biting... :) Can anyone point me to reliable, quality repairers / maintainers to undertake a bit of upgrading work on a valve/tube amp (Willsenton R8)?

So far, I've found "Essex Amp Repairs" (Witham, Essex) but it would be nice to have a couple of other options in case that doesn't work out - will consider travelling, say, 100 miles range from Essex.

For info, the work being considered is to upgrade some of the caps (Miflex or Mundorf: 0.22uF; 600-630VDC; +/- 5%). In anticipation of the suggestion, I won't be able to do the work myself.

Try David Coe (posting here as AD Audio (https://theartofsound.net/forum/member.php?15947-AD-Audio)). This type of upgrade is right up his street.

I've read various reviews on the Willsenton R8. Highly regarded.

That's one :) . Info noted (& website found) - many thanks.

Edited to add: found another - Suffolk Sound Services.
