Servicing Electronic Equipment, Benefits

Like a well performing vehicle, every now and then it’s good for your equipment to get a checkup to make sure that everything is running as it should be.

The procedures can vary for what is tested during a service, however the following is pretty standard for all:

Full clean internally and externally

Cleaning of all pots and switches with DeOxit Cleaner

Checking visually components, for both mechanical and electrical issues

Testing signal quality

Checking common features are all working

Testing electrical parameters such as Bias, Supply voltages

Electrically testing components for wear and drifting of value

For amplifiers we load test them using our workshop load testing facilities to make sure they reach a suitable output.

What is not checked

While we try to check most functions of equipment it’s impossible for us to check every function, level and switch.  We therefore take a general working approach of powering up, general channel changing, overall levels.  Like taking your car for a service, the garage doesn’t check the boot light or heating to make sure the temperature matches the temperature dial.
