Locating Cost Effective Vintage Amplifier Repairs


by Jessica Peterson


A lot of guitarists prefer to use vintage musical instruments and other equipment for the special sound that is delivered. When these pieces of equipment become faulty or stop working properly they will need fixing by a trained technician. If you are trying to locate cost effective vintage amplifier repair there are a few different places to get the work done and you should look into all of the options before you commit to anything.

Many parts will be used to build an amplifier and they are all important to ensure things operate safely and properly. A vintage amp will use valves which were used before the now very popular solid state circuits were commonly available. Many players prefer to use a valve amp due to the warmth of the sound and most professional guitarists will also use them.

Old and rare amplifiers can often be very valuable and it is very important to use a qualified engineer along with the correct parts when you need repairs to a unit. Manufacturer spares should always be used if possible for optimum performance and to maintain the value. The company that made your unit will usually carry a stock of parts that can be used to carry out the repairs.

If you need to get an amp fixed it is a good idea to visit a local guitar store to see if they can do the work for you. Most instrument stores will have their own workshop and their technicians can carry out the repair work on your amp. Many stores will also have a good selection of vintage parts and they can order them if you wish to do the job yourself.

It is also worth contacting the manufacturer of your amp if they are still trading and they may offer to do the repairs. A lot of the factories will keep a stock of old components and will employ technicians that do repairs. Returning the amp to its original maker and using the correct spares will also maintain the value of a rare piece of equipment.

The web is another good place to find a repair technician that will rectify the fault with your amplifier. You can spend a little time browsing the list of available services and you can call or email them for a quote. When you use an internet based firm you will need to pay for the carriage and your amp will need to be properly insured for its journey.

When the repair work is complete it is essential to retain your receipt for the work that has been done. A lot of technicians will cover their repairs with a warranty for a time based period and receipts will be needed if you need to claim. If you buy parts to do your own repairs you should also keep receipts and keep the components in their original packaging until you plan to fit them.

To avoid having costly repairs carried out there are some simple things you should do which will keep your musical equipment in good working condition. Always store your amplifier in a safe place and away from extreme heat or moisture. Regularly clean your amp and have it regularly inspected by a technician to check for wear and faults.
