Who still repairs repairs electronics?

[ibstrokin]

My brother has a ppi 2150 amplifier that after twenty years has finally went belly up. I know this amp to most is ancient, but twenty years after it was made, they are still hard to beat.

Anyway, there used to be electronic repairmen locally, but not anymore. In the digital age you just throw it away in when it breaks. But this is a power hungry,analog, kick ass amp.

So if anyone knows someone or someplace that still repairs electronics, let me know. Thanks, Brian

Btw, if anyone has any PPI Am or Art series amps for sale, lmk.

PPI art series amps are still best looking ever in my book! I have a PPI A204 sitting in my study that is pristine. I don't have anything to put it in but its too pretty to get rid of it.

You might try contacting PPI. I know Phoenix Gold repaired an MS274 that I had 5 or 6 years ago.

I'm more partial to the AM series, they have real heat sinks.

I called PPI who doesn't repair amps at there location, and was referred to D.E.I., who bought PPI, and was stuck on terminal hold.

i used to have a 2350 and that was the best amp i ever owned..period...

2350's Kick ass, and alot of it. There are a lot of old school amps that still great. Linear Power, the old Rockford Fosgate, Orion hcca, Soundstream reference. Basically anything late 80's early 90's high end class a amps were great. Most amps today are class D, which aren't always bad, but not my cup of tea.

Hey don't forget about Hi-Fonics A good friend of mine had a nissan outfitted with a lot of their amps. It was out of the Good Vibrations camp had a solid shell with Bart Simpson on the side.

I've sent an email for a rough estimate of cost. The site lists repair costs based on retail cost of the amp. I don't agree with that philosophy, but they can probably get it running again.

BTW, cool picture! :D
