Hi everyone,
New here so I will keep it short and simple. My name is Renzo, ex-telco guy from Peru but living in Australia (Melbourne, Victoria) for the past 15 years. I am finally getting some time to put aside for my hobbie, to bring back to life that beautiful vintage old audio gear we all love to do what they are supposed to do, bring joy to people. I am please to join a community of like minded people and will be more than happy to help where I can.
I used to be a Technics fan (still am really) and after putting together the kit I thought it was the ultimate (ST-7700 Tuner + SU-7700 Amp + RS-615US Tape deck, SL-1200 MkI TT), I rediscovered that "sweet" Sansui sound with a little 331...
So now I just cannot sat and stare at QRX-3000 box (which definitely needs some love) and do nothing, just cannot wait to hear that "sweet" sound coming out from a Quad. Don't have much experience with quads but I found on eBay an ad offering Restoration kits (with step-by-step instructions), my question is if anyone here has tried them and if they are worth the money. How much "further damage" I can cause by using them ? Or should I get it checked by a proper tech (that kind of labour is scarce here and therefore not cheap at all ? )
Internally, this QRX-3000 looks fine (or at least not manipulated before), it turns on, some lamps work, some not, but not getting sound from the tuner nor the Aux. But that all the testing I ve done so far.
Thank you for having me here and for reading this post. Hopefully will hear from you soon.
Cheers, Renzo
