Where is a good place to go for Quad II overhaul? Apart from Quad perhaps.
The transformer at the front end (of the unit, that is) appears to have
overheated and melted its pitch. Is there any reasonable standard price
bracket for a full overhaul?

I am curious; why would you wish to entrust the work to someone other
than Quad?

It's a fairly simple job for a valve specialist - depends what Quad's service
prices are I suppose.

Just because it's still called Quad doesn't mean a company will remain the
same after takeover.

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.

The £40 fixed labour is not for 57's or 63's :-)
