Hi! I’m looking for an experienced Scott tech in the Northeast region to repair/restore a 399. It’s extremely clean and cosmetically mint, but one channel is lower volume than the other. Doesn’t appear to be the tubes. No rush on this project, but would like to get in the queue. Does anyone have any recommendations? (Audio Classics in my area no longer works on Scotts.) Thanks for any advice!I hear you. On the first 299B I restored (now owned by my daughter), I tried reforming the caps and seemed to work. However, during some testing I started hearing snapping/cracking noises and found one of the cans very hot (but had not yet exploded, fortunately). From then on, I just replace the power supply caps and all the small electrolytics underneath first thing.
I am in the Providence area and have worked on 299s, 340b as well as Fisher, Dynaco, etc. Have the can caps been replaced?Hi!
