SAE 2800 REBUILD SERVICE-PLEASE READ LISTING DESCRIPTION

Description

SAE 2800 REBUILD SERVICE
SAE 2800 PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER
REBUILD SERVICE
THIS LISTING IS FOR REBUILD SERVICE ONLY.
THE PICTURED 2800 IS NOT FOR SALE.
LIKE ALL VINTAGE AUDIO EQUIPMENT, THE 2800'S PERFORMANCE WILL DECREASE OVER TIME.        SLIDERS ACCUMULATE GRIME AND YOU HEAR STATIC/NOISE WHEN ADJUSTING.      MORE CRITICAL, THE ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS ARE WELL PAST THEIR RECOMMENDED LIFESPAN.     AS ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS AGE, SONIC PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY DECREASES.      DEFECTIVE CAPACITORS ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF CIRCUIT FAILURE(S) AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
SONIC PERFORMANCE IS AUDIBLY IMPROVED.     BACKGROUND NOISE IS LOWERED.     THE OVERALL SOUND IS "CLEANER" AND FOCUSED.    LONG TERM OPERATIONAL DEPENDABILITY IS RESTORED.
ACCEPTABLE UNITS MUST BE PRODUCING SOUND (NOT STATIC/HISS) FROM BOTH CHANNELS.      IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATUS OF YOUR EQUALIZER, CONTACT ME BEFORE PURCHASE.
THE REBUILD PROCESS FOR THE 2800 IS LABOR INTENSIVE AND IS THE MAJORITY OF COST.     THERE IS ANOTHER "SUB FACEPLATE" BEHIND THE MAIN FACE THAT ATTACHES TO ALL THE SLIDERS.      ACCESS TO THE MAIN BOARD ENTAILS REMOVAL OF THIS "SUB PLATE" AND AN UNGODLY LARGE NUMBER OF SCREWS.
THE DISASSEMBLY, REASSEMBLY, AND CLEANING PROCESS IS NOT AS EASY AS IT MIGHT APPEAR.
PROPERLY CLEANING THE SLIDERS ENTAILS A BIT MORE THAN SIMPLY "SPRAYING" CLEANER INTO THE SLIDER SLOTS.    MOST OFTEN, SLIDERS HAVE TO BE "FLUSHED OUT" TO REMOVE ALL THE DEBRIS AND DIRT RESIDUE.  IT TAKES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF CLEANING SOLUTION TO DO THIS.  YOU GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH.
REBUILD CONSISTS OF TOTAL ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR REPLACEMENT.      PREMIUM NICHICON "KZ" MUSE CAPACITORS IN THE POWER SUPPLY AND AUDIO CIRCUITS.     HI-TEMP/LOW ESR CAPACITORS IN THE PROTECTION AND RELAY CIRCUITS.
WIMA POLYPROPYLENE FILM AND PRECISION MULTILAYER CERAMIC NON-POLAR CAPACITORS REPLACE THE ORIGINAL CERAMIC DISC CAPS.
VISHAY ULTRA FAST/SOFT RECOVERY DIODES INSTALLED IN RECTIFIER CIRCUIT(S).
NEW ZENER VOLTAGE REGULATION DIODES.
NEW POWER/PEAK LEDS.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE TO THE POWER LED IS MODIFIED PER SAE SERVICE NOTICE.
EXTERIOR/INTERIOR OF CASE IS SCRUBBED CLEAN.     KNOBS AND PUSH BUTTONS SOAKED OVERNIGHT IN CLEANER TO REMOVE ANY GRIME.
ALL SLIDERS AND SWITCHES PROPERLY CLEANED AND SURFACE TREATED WITH "CAIG" PRODUCTS.
ALL FUNCTIONS ARE TESTED.
NON-OPERATING (DEAD) UNITS AND THOSE WITH BROKEN SLIDERS AND SWITCHES MAY BE ACCEPTED.
BUYER MUST CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE PURCHASE.    I MUST ACCEPT WITH A WRITTEN RESPONSE THROUGH EBAY MESSAGE SYSTEM.
I HAVE SOME SLIDERS IN STOCK (NEW AND USED), OR CAN REPLACE BROKEN SHAFTS WITH A NEW SHAFT ASSEMBLY.  I HAVE REPLACEMENT ON/OFF SWITCHES IN STOCK.  UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF THE OTHER PUSH BUTTON FUNCTION SWITCHES.     I OFFER NO GUARANTEE THAT ALL SLIDERS
AND/OR PUSH BUTTON FUNCTIONS CAN REPAIRED.    IT DEPENDS ON THE AVAILABILITY (AND COST) OF REPLACEMENT PARTS.
AGAIN, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE PURCHASE.
ANY EXTRA REPAIR(S) NOT SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THE REBUILD SERVICE DESCRIPTION WILL INCUR ADDITIONAL CHARGES.
AFTER REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE
, THESE EXTRA CHARGES WILL BE POSTED AS A "BUY-IT-NOW" LISTING FOR THE BUYER TO PURCHASE, PER EBAY POLICY.
I DO NOT SUPPLY REPLACEMENT SLIDER, OR PUSH BUTTON KNOBS.
TURNAROUND TIME AFTER EQ IS RECEIVED IS 7 TO 10 DAYS.
SHIPPING
AFTER PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, I WILL EMAIL MY CONTACT AND SHIPPING ADDRESS INFO TO THE BUYER.
STATED SHIP COST IS A FLAT RATE FOR UPS GROUND DELIVERY.      A SIGNATURE UPON DELIVERY IS REQUIRED.      I RECOMMEND YOU WAIT UNTIL I INVOICE YOU.     I MAY REVISE INVOICE LOWER FOR NEARBY DESTINATIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE A LOWER SHIP COST.   HOWEVER, AS THE BUYER SHIPS TO ME, I HAVE NO IDEA OF WEIGHT AND BOX SIZE.  I NEED TO HAVE A MARGIN FOR THE RETURN SHIP COST.    EQ WILL BE PACKED AND RETURNED IN SAME MANNER AS SENT.       BUYER WILL PAY FOR INSURANCE ON RETURN SHIPPING.     AFTER ITEM IS RETURNED SHIPPED, I REFUND ANY SHIPPING OVERCHARGE.
I EXPECT THE EQ TO BE SHIPPED TO ME WELL PACKED.   SHOULD BUYER SHIP IN AN OBVIOUSLY INSUFFICIENT MANNER, I WILL DOCUMENT CONDITION AND REPACK (AT BUYER'S COST).
U.S. SALES ONLY
I OFFER REBUILD SERVICES FOR MOST ALL SAE AMPS, PREAMPS, AND EQUALIZERS.    MESSAGE ME FOR DETAILS.
