Carver AL-III need ribbon work and B&K preamp.
« on: October 13, 2013, 09:57:38 AM »
I need to get these out of the house. The ribbons are buzzing. They aren't torn, and Tom thinks he can fix them without replacing the kapton. I had planned on fixing them, but I haven't gotten around to it, and they are just taking up space and getting dusty. Will consider trading for a reel to reel deck or sell for $250.

The preamp is an AVP2000. It is the stereo version with dual zone capabilities, 2 sets of preamp outputs per zone, balanced outputs, and a remote. The rubber feet have become soft and sticky and need to be replaced. I would also consider trading this for a RtR or selling it for $150.

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Slim - will take the ALIIIs.  Please deliver to Tom for repair and hot rodding.  Send me your Paypal info.  Will send as friend.

Tom:  Please fix and then hot rod these babies for me. 

Thanks

Well will take them pending confirmation from Tom that he can fix them.  I hope that is cool.

Cool, Pepe... Let me know. When I get a hand lugging them to my car I'll get them there. Wait for your confirmation.

Ed:

I am going to pass on these as my wife is harassing me about speakers that are as tall as people.  I think this is a great deal for someone willing to invest in the restore.   Good luck on the sale!

Slim -  you better get the wood type right,  F1nut will set you straight otherwise.  Rev and I have a poor track record on that.

Cap'n-I understand.  My problem is space and it is rather strictly defined.  When I put the Tandberg 10x on top of my equipment rack, it was a no go.  Now I'll need to tear down the entire set up and reconfigure the component placement.  Oh well, everything needs a good cleaning, and a couple of pieces need a tweak or two anyway.
