General overhaul / revision
A general overhaul or revision not only ensures perfect sound, it also increases the value of your Revox and Studer devices.
A general overhaul is significantly more comprehensive than a simple repair and is generally recommended for devices 20 years or older. A general overhaul not only ensures the current, temporary value of the device, but also increases its value, which can easily exceed the original price and has a positive impact on the subsequent sale!
A general overhaul at Premium-Hifi includes:
the | Inspection and replacement of worn components |
the | Cleaning of printed circuit boards, contacts, displays and functional groups |
the | Cleaning and repair of toggle, rotary and push buttons and potentiometers |
the | inspection and revision of all loosening points |
the | Replacement of all electrolytic capacitors and tantalum capacitors |
the | Replace all open trimmers, even if they appear to be still good |
the | Replacement of mechanical wear parts |
the | Cleaning the front panels, control panels and housing |
the | Checking device-specific parameters such as synchronism, quiescent current, frequency response, and so on |
During a general overhaul/revision, we at Premium-Hifi not only replace the defective components, but also replace all aging and wear-prone parts and components, which, in our experience, are responsible for over 90% of failures. Additionally, all electrolytic capacitors receive film bypass capacitors if they cannot be completely replaced with film capacitors!
The character of Revox and Studer devices will be preserved. Even after the overhaul, a Revox B750 will sound warm, perhaps a little more analytical, a little more powerful, but never cold! It will still be recognizably a Revox B750!
At Premium-Hifi, we're so confident in our work that we offer a full one-year warranty on any overhaul, which goes far beyond the statutory twelve-month warranty. Excluded are wear parts such as heads, belts, motors, analog instruments, and laser units.
