    ----------
    The scarcity of good, honest techs who can do good and reasonably priced restoration/rebuild of audio equipment (especially tube gear) made me start offering this restoration kit.
    In today's day and age it is very hard to come by a knowledgeable  tech who can service your audio gear well. I have seen many poor quality restorations of equipment that cost way too much to its owners.
    In 99% of the cases there were only few parts replaced, instead of a full and proper restoration job.
    On the other hand, if one succeeds in finding a good tech, a wait time is usually 6-12 months for the unit to be serviced and costs is
    sky-high
    !!!
    In this kit I offer parts and instructions for a full/complete restoration of your audio equipment.
    I have been servicing audio equipment for many years and have developed deep respect toward all good equipment, especially tube gear. I really do think they sound amazing if properly restored. I have seen many bad quality restorations/fix jobs done to these units that made them sound cheap and very low quality. Knowing how amazing and warm these units can sound, I have decided to develop this kit to help you do a great job on your equipment. It includes very good upgrades and improvements that MUST be done to the unit.
    Please do your audio equipment a favor and replace the most important components that are most likely 90% dead. Power / Filter stage caps are those large silver cans mounted on top of the chassis and sometimes underneath.  This restoration pack will make a huge difference in the sound quality. All the parts are of high quality Japanese Nichicon / Panasonic / IC  / United Chemi capacitors.  I provide several instructions on how to mount those new electrolytic caps. The best one is to rebuild those original cans.  You will receive a step-by-step instructions and all the proper caps needed for that. This technique will keep the original look of the unit.
    I am extremely particular about the quality of the parts provided with this kit. Knowing how many bogus/fake caps, diodes, resistors etc. out there,  I source all the parts from reputable whole-sellers and buy them in bulk.
    The knowledge that I am going to share with you have been acquired by me over many years serving audio equipment. Please be patient and let’s get your little birdy sing again.
