Service History

We pride ourselves on our inspections and the professional service of each amplifier, making this ready to plug in and play anywhere within the UK. This has just been looked at and cleaned up to the best of our ability. Latest service included – 

– Valves tested on Orange VT1000 (all serviceable and original Mullard/Brimar types)

– Replaced signal capacitor and resistor in brilliant channel to restore low output

– Replaced resistor feeding B+ supply to vib / trem channel to reduce unnecessary distortion

– Clean controls and sockets with service spray

– Carry out safety inspection (mains cable old UK colour code and requires replacing if equipment is PAT tested / mains plug may need replacing for later shrouded pin type – all part of the originality of amplifier)

– Soak test using 1kHz, 120mV sinewave into 8ohm load

Cosmetic Inspection

You can see the condition of this amplifier in the photographs. It is a beauty! This has had one careful owner all of its life and has nothing significant to report. There are a couple of missing corner protectors to the bottom but, apart from that, wow!

Originality

In our opinion, all the main components are original – including the transformers, speakers, cones, pedal, etc.

Summary

One of the best quality amplifiers you’ll find. These exceed the quality of most new amplifiers and are always on the increase in regards to collectability and value.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.

The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
