Hi All,
I am seeking some guidance on this unit I found for free yesterday, it is a pilot 240 curtain of sound amplifier.
The Pilot Amp powers up, but I have not gotten any further than that.
I am a little handy, but have never attempted any kind of update for cleaning or replacing the capacitors etc. on vintage gear.
Should I get this serviced or is it a major issue to try and do this myself?
What do you think it would cost to get it serviced?
And is it a lot to learn how to update this unit?
I just got back into vinyl a year ago, so I had my eye on a tube amp for some time at the right price point, and this find was a great start. I have a small budget for someone to service it, but I am willing to give it a try if I can find good video demos to help me along.
There was also a Sherwood FM/MX Tuner, I think it may be a tube system as well that was attached to the until that does not appear to be powering up, is this worth trying to troubleshoot as well?
Thanks for the guidance!
