I recently repaired a hifi amplifier -- the filter capacitors had bulged, ruining the sound quality. £3 lighter, and now with caps better than the originals, it's 100% again.
I was going to give it away to a family member but I've recently noticed that these amps are still fetching £80-100 on eBay -- so I think I may well sell it now, and sort the family member out with a lesser amp I also have as I doubt they'd notice the difference
The repair is, in my opinion a good quality one. Do I mention it in the listing or keep it quiet in case it puts folks off?
