LAUGHTON QUAD 405 AMPLIFIER ULTIMATE REPAIR / RESTORATION
0 comments Posted by shopping-team at 2:45 PMThis Amplifier has lots of new parts and upgraded options installed. Including new Power capacitors and Transistors. All electrolytic caps on both audio boards were replaced with Nichicon Muse capacitors. New OPAMP IC's installed. New voltage regulator and signal diodes, Gold plated RCA sockets fitted along with new Speaker binding posts too. All parts were tested for more than 5% variation and any parts that had varied was replaced. We then completely rewired the DC Power and Audio output sections with silver-plated wire. The unit sounds fantastic and should be good for the next 30+ years.

The engine is finally running. I needed to work out problems with the oil pump, fuel pump and voltage regulator, but when finished, the engine ran beautifully. I also talk about using hockey stick tape for anti-squeak material and other progress made on completing the restoration.
