We ensure that repairs are done properly the first time, as our customers can verify. (Referances) The customer can talk directly with the technician doing the job. This ensures that the technician knows exactly, the problem(s) that the customer is having with the amp(s) or piece of equipment. Communication is one of the keys to effective and professional repairs and we know from experience that this makes the customer pleased, if we explain all likely scenarios. We have a fully equipped workshop, with a large range of parts in stock, we have developed many techniques to handle all those difficult jobs like intermittent faults etc, which we get when other less qualified repairers have tried and failed. We will only use quality or original replacement parts, ensuring that the gear/equipment functions the way the manufacture intended or better, so that in the long run, you save time and money. We endeavour to repair everything that may be of future concern so you don't have to bring back the equipment at a later stage. Our return rate is very low, we offer a one-year guarantee on all repairs. VINTAGE GUITAR AMPS There's nothing worse than inspecting a vintage amp only to find most of the old vintage parts have be replaced with their modern day counterparts and by tech's that don't know what they're doing. This of course destroys the value of the amp, not to mention the tone. We take the attitude that if it's worth repairing it is indeed worth repairing properly. We will repair it back to its original status. If we haven't got the part, we will source it from over seas. AMP RE-TUBES Sherlock Amplifiers buys tubes by the hundreds all the time. They come matched and graded in sets of pairs or quads, We check them and match them again before installing them into amps because sometimes the matching done at the factory is not quite up to our standards. When we remove the old tubes we check these in our tube tester to check their grading. We then select new one's closest to that grading, taking also into account the bias voltage in the amp. This re-tubing technique ensures minimal bias adjustment and most importantly the amp sounds the same as before or to the customer specific requirements. (See notes on biasing) We know the difference in sound between the tube brands and can advise on tube selection for tone. AMP RESTORATIONS
We can restore any old amp to its former glory. Any component can be repaired or remade. Transformers can be rewound
(see notes on transformer repairs), speakers can be re-coned or replaced. Reverb units can be repla Being a manufacturer meticulous about the quality of our tube amps and other great gear, Sherlock Amplifiers have done a lot of Tolex / Vinyl covering to amps. This re-covering service is also available to our customers as part of our amp restoration service. We have a selection of Tolexes from the USA for that purpose and we use industrial grade glue. We can also replace speaker grill cloth. Again we have a selection of grill cloths from the USA specifically for that purpose. WHY SOULD I CHOOSE SHERLOCK AMPLIFIERS AS MY REPAIRER
Sherlock Amplifiers has spent a lifetime repairing, modifying and designing amplifiers and other electronic gear. We have over the years built up a wealth of
knowledge and experience, which we offer to all our customers. We also draw on the 12 years of technical expertise that
our senior technician has in aircraft electronics. Being a Technician/Engineer for Ansett Airlines of Australia, this carried
with it a professional edge where understandably the job had to be done right; if not the you could imagine the consequences. If you want your amp(s) to work properly then bring your equipment to us. We know what every resistor,
capacitor, tube and transformer does in your amp or piece of equipment, we understand the amp circuitry intimately, and so
we can virtually have it fixed even before we open it! We hope that this information has helped you make the right decision. We look forward to seeing you in future. The following are referances from some of the companies we have worked for over the years.
