I understand they no longer service the original ESL. Can't see Peter
Walker ever allowing that.


I took my Quad 67 CD player to Huntingdon to be serviced recently,
and was pleased to see that things seem to be carrying on as usual,
albeit in a smaller facility. Pricing for service work is extremely
reasonable; £40 fixed labour cost per item plus materials used.

Regarding servicing the original ESL, I am not aware of whether that
is still being carried out, or otherwise. The ESL-63 is certainly
still being serviced, and a pair were being despatched back to their
original owners on the day that I was there.
