..Rank - Wharfedale has had quite a few receivers available back in 70's along with their speakers range. All the receivers were manufactured by Rotel in Japan.

This thread at Classic Speaker Pages has photos of the internals and a couple of the PCB's are marked LEAK.

I received yesterday this nice NOS condition Wharfedale Linton amplifier. Carton has been opened, but amplifier with tags is still wrapped in plastic. Speaker leads supplied with amp do have tags attached and shorting plugs are in plastic bag. Wharfedale did not produce their own amplifiers. As L...

The Linton Receivers and later units may have been made by Rotel but the pictured amp is a Leak Delta 30

Leak Delta 30 refurbish

My earliest memory of my Dads hifi setup included a Leak Delta 30/70 (neither Dad or I can remember which) amplifier hooked up to a gigantic pair of Goodmans Magnums. About 10 years ago I got myself a full Leak setup, to include a Delta tuner, Leak sandwich speakers (600 series 8ohm) and hooked...

Thank you so much for your info. Super helpful and informative. Cheers

The Service Manual for the Delta 30 is available online for free
Test the Fuses with a Multimeter, if you're lucky, that may be why it's not powering on

Thank you for your advice. Hopefully that was the issue. Keep my finger cross!

UPDATE

Opened up the case finally after some effort on the wooden parts, however, unable to find any fuse(s) inside. Don't think I could be able to fix it. Any reliable source in the UK for vintage amp refurbishment?

Fuses are on the back panel
If the back of yours looks different post a photo

there should be 3 fuses inside as well as the ones on the back .
