Where to get Linn kit mended

[BertBert]

I have a 12 year old Linn sneaky DS which has just stopped working. Looking on the internet the power supply gives up the ghost. The capacitors don't look to have domed tops, but the transformer looks odd like it has got hot.

It's not going to be economic to send back to Linn I suspect.

Any recommendations for electronics repairers to try?

I can't bear to dump it and it produced such a sweet sound through some B&Ws in the dining room.

Cheers

Do you mean with Linn? In which case yes I am. Just expecting not good news.

I got my Linn fixed at a place in Sheffield. http://hifi-repairs.com/

Nigel at Peter Tyson in Carlisle recently replaced the caps on my A4200 for a very reasonable fee

[BertBert]

So the fixed price Linn repair is £205 inc VAT fixed price plus £10 delivery back. So probably the right route.

Definitely recommend Class A in Sheffield.

[BertBert]

tried Class A to get a comparison and they'd only fit a new power supply from Linn which would cost them more than the fixed fee that Linn charge.

So back to Linn it is!

Thanks everyone for their help.

Apparently I can't just ship it, it has to go via a Linn dealer which isn't very convenient! Hey ho

Just send it to the Linn dealer and they'll send it on. There will be a process that the dealer follows so that Linn can deal with repairs in a organised manner ... end users sending various items direct will probably cause them a headache.

Yep, just got to scurry about in the loft to find the box!
