Arcam AVR500 AVR600 AVR200 AVR250 AVR280 AVR300 AVR350 AVP700 Repair Parts Kit

Description

WELCOME to CONDORAUDIO, located in Jerusalem Israel.
For more than 30 years, we have been providing professional, one-stop, no-excuses manufacturer-authorized service for many premium brands, including Arcam, B&O, Bose, Dual, Grundig, Kenwood, Luxman, Marantz, NAD, Philips, Tandberg, Technics, Thorens, and many others.
No matter what your concern, besides Ebay's limited messaging system here, you can also contact me DIRECTLY via the main page at CondorAudio.
Whatever you need done to your equipment, it is NO PROBLEM. And always done right, the first time!
BEFORE you place your order, you MUST contact me to confirm which version PCB's you have.
I CANNOT ship your kit, UNTIL you have contacted me, so that I can understand which exact PCB's you have, in order that I can make up the EXACT parts kit for YOUR machine. Simply informing me of your machine's serial number is NOT sufficient!
You buy ONE complete DIY parts kit for YOU to upgrade, restore, and rebuild EITHER
the THREE affected PCB's of YOUR Arcam AVR500 or AVR600, or AVR100, or AVR200, OR
the TWO affected PCB's of YOUR Arcam AVR200 AVR250 AVR280 AVR300 AVR350 AVR700
and in the process, take care of all the well-known defects. YOUR machine is essentially returned to (better-than) brand-new condition. The kit includes approximately 60 parts (depending on your version) and COMPREHENSIVE CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS.
Only the highest quality 105°C components (temperature-rated for Power Supplies) are used from the following manufacturers: Vishay, Panasonic, Nichicon, and Wima. No type of generic Chinese or 85°C garbage is ever sold by me.
The circuit boards are very similar on the AVR500/600 OR the AVR100, AVR200, AVR250, AVR280, AVR300, AVR350, and AVP700 (with negligible technical differences), so the work involved is essentially the same.
For example, the well-known factory defect (involving the power-supply overvoltage causing failure of the DSP board), is completely taken care of!
Please see the full upgrade which is able to be done on your machine (this sale is for the PSU REPAIR/UPGRADE ONLY). On my CondorAudio website homepage, see "Projects" at the right-hande side, and download the PDF of your choice.
Be aware that the success of this project is dependent ENTIRELY on your technical skills, therefore there is no warranty, implied, express or otherwise, on the parts, or the outcome of the project. This is a complicated job, requiring very good technical and soldering skills, and it is quite easy to destroy the PCB, with unprofessional or sloppy workmanship. NO MORE PCB's are available from Arcam at all.
I offer full restoration services in my lab, and this would be the wisest option for you, if you are NOT up to the skill level required, in order to tackle this job. In this case, you would send me ONLY the required PCB's (which are light and easy to ship), but do NOT send me your entire machine.
In addition, all repairs to Arcam equipment are offered, even the most vintage equipment which other service centers refuse to do.

VERY IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY
If you send me your PCB's for overhaul, then you understand that you are sending to me ONLY specific PCB's for overhaul, not the entire receiver. You are engaging me to conduct a PARTIAL and LIMITED overhaul only.
My commitment and obligation to you, is limited to overhauling your failed PCB's, and returning their functionality to original manufacturer specifications.
THEREFORE, if after receiving and re-installing the overhauled PCB's, your receiver still does not function correctly, then at this point, obviously, there are other unknown problems on the other PCB's to be dealt with.
As I cannot be held responsible for things I cannot see, therefore there is NO REFUND or compensation at all, neither for the parts and labor on the overhauled PCB's, nor for the shipping costs.
So then, I would recommend taking it to a local technician who can see the entire technical picture in a fully assembled machine, and you may rest assured that your newly-overhauled power supply is producing completely stable power, and does not require any additional work on that particular part of the receiver.
Over 9 out of every 10 PCB overhauls (in this manner) result in a fully-functioning machine again, but the remaining 1 out of the 10 is going to require additional work. There is absolutely no way that I can forecast which your's will be, without having the COMPLETE receiver in my workshop.
I do not promise or commit in any manner (which would be completely foolish anyway, as I do not have your complete receiver in my workshop), that your receiver will work perfectly after the overhaul.
So, now that you have the complete picture, you can make an informed and conscious decision as to what you want to do.
Please visit my CondorAudio website
and browse through a small selection of the many technical projects I have completed for hundreds of satisfied customers all over the world, during my 20+ years in business. You are not buying from a fly-by-nighter looking to dump defective products on naive buyers, but from a well-established real, live legitimate business committed to your satisfaction.
RETURNS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
There is a No-Returns policy on this item. This is due to Ebay's new policies, which specify a minimum of 14-days to be offered. Unfortunately there are unscrupulous buyers who take advantage of this generous policy to buy a perfectly-fuctioning unit such as this one, remove the functional parts and re-install defective parts previously removed from their own non-perfect units, and then return a previously-perfect (but now defective) unit for a refund. No, not here.
I maintain a large inventory of spare parts, and in the unlikely event that any component should fail in the future, I can ship out replacement parts, after you return the defective one (all PCB's and subassemblies on my restored units are specially coded to prove that they originally came from me). I regard this as a fair alternative which ensures that my customers have excellent support now, and well into the future.
In the picture, any bright spots are from the flash, and dark spots are shadows. No damage unless specified.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BY BIDDING, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD IN ADVANCE, AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY AND ACCEPT THESE CONDITIONS WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS, WHATSOVEVER.
1. SHIPPING
We ship worldwide by the following methods,within 3 business days of receipt of payment. :
a. Valuable Electronic Equipment – EMS ExpressMail. This is fully insured and trackable. Delivery time from 3-7 business days worldwide.
b. Electronic Parts – Registered AirMail. This is uninsured, but trackable. You may specify an upgrade to EMS at extra cost. Delivery time from 7-20 business days worldwide.
c. Printed Matter – SeaMail. Because Airmail is generally much more expensive, it makes sense to ship heavyweight low-value printed matter by sea. Insurance and tracking are optional at slightly extra cost. Delivery time from 15-60 business days worldwide.
d. If you have an account with a worldwide shipper, feel free to specify them as your choice.
2. SHIPPING COSTS
IMPORTANT - DISREGARD THE EBAY SHIPPING CALCULATOR
We aim to keep the cost of shipping honest and economical.
Nobody likes to be fleeced. So it's real simple.
We give you the weight of the shipment, so you can check the costs yourself on the IsraelPost website.
Add .00 for packaging of printed materials, and up to for packaging of large-sized expensive electronic equipment, and that's the price you pay.
No hidden, inflated costs.
YES, we combine items to reduce shipping costs.
3. PACKAGING
We are proud that since we started selling internationally on ebay in 2003, we have NEVER had any equipment damaged in transit.
The reason is real simple – we make the proper effort, and don't cut corners.
All electronic equipment is double-boxed, using the strongest materials possible.
First the equipment is packed in plastic, in its original carton, or a close substitute.
Then that carton is packaged inside another double- or triple-walled carton, with at least 5cm airspace on all sides. That airspace is then filled with polystyrene, to prevent any shocks damaging the equipment.
It is then sealed completely with strong packaging tape.
Of course, this kind of quality packaging doesn't come for free, but we think we do a real good job of keeping your mind at peace, so you don't have to worry about damage-in-transit.
Printed matter is first sealed in plastic wrap to prevent any moisture damage from a sea voyage.
Then it is wrapped in a cushioned envelope, or carton, depending on size. It is then sealed completely with strong packaging tape.
4. METHODS OF PAYMENT
Full payment must be made before your goods are shipped.
We accept PayPal. If paying by PayPal, you must pay me within 2 days of end-of-auction.
We also accept direct bank transfer to our bank in Israel. Once you are ready to buy, we will give you details to make the transfer.
In Israel we accept local cheques, but we require a waiting period of 7 business days to ensure that the funds have cleared.
If I do not receive any communication from you within 2 days of end-of-auction, I will treat you as a non-paying bidder.
5. NON-PAYING BIDDERS
I will not hesitate to use all eBay methods available to levy penalties from non-paying bidders.
If you are not serious, then DO NOT BID!!!!
ON A LAST NOTE:
BID WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE!!!!
On all items, I GUARANTEE satisfaction, or your money will be cheerfully refunded (minus shipping costs).
All emails will be replied to promptly during business hours Monday to Friday.
I have been in business for 24 years, providing only top-class products to discerning and picky customers who refuse to settle for second-best.
My success, and your gain, is based on sourcing the very best products from relatively unknown, uncommon, and out-of-the-way places.
BID WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE!!!!
