Some people must inhabit a different planet to me:

Think I paid about £50 for mine, mint with original user/servicing booklet.

Now, this is much more interesting, but not at that price:

Dada do a refurb kit which replaces all the electrolytics and raises the rail voltage to 16V. Does anyone have experience of this? I doubt I'll go the Net Audio route as the 33 wasn't ever intended for a main system, but a cap overhaul seems a good idea, although the electrolytics look fine.

Na not Superficial.. Influence is a bad thing Dave ;)

The other 33 had all it's Elco caps swapped for the superb Panasonic 'FC'..If you can live without the switch on the '33' volume pot, a pot change is a vast improvement..I prefer to keep all original functions & just enjoy if i can..

I'm toying with the Dada cap kit, which replaces those old ERO/Elco (or similar) caps B&O and Naim used by the hundred and raises the rail voltage to 16V (which seems a good thing on the face of it, although I'm suspicious tbh). The thing was serviced in 1982 (when it was under 5 years old) and it looks as though the volume pot and some mother-board dry joints were attended to.

Like you, I love the appearance of the 33/FM2/FM3, which was completely overshadowed in the 70's "bling" era.....

Is being a "grump kunt", spelt with a 'k', the same as being one spelt with a 'c'?
