Hello everyone,
I have been registered since a long long time ago, I wanted to make a post, but I was asked to introduce myself as a new member to be able to post again.
So I am introducing myself as an electronic hobbyist doing restorations for my pleasure and also by loving those iconic vintage audio gears as an audiophile as well.
I am restoring "as new" those gears such as R2R's, amplifiers, preamps and Loudspeakers.
I have some skills in electronics, but also as a full DIY modeler I am able to work wood, do wood veneer cabinets with High gloss varnished finishing, rebuilding faceplates with graphic illustrating done with computer work by rebuilding original layouts.
*Sharing some pics of some work I have done on those HiFi gears from my collection; I have fully restored and also upgraded these beautiful audio icons...

Hi Cal Weldon, thanks for the compliments and the welcoming message.
I am a passionate guy who loves to revive those iconic machines. I have some skills in doing electronics since my early teen years, but I wasn't really in a professional field doing electronics, just as a hobby and also my adolescence was marked by the golden age of Hi-Fi, looking with envy at all the impressive machines exhibited in the auditoriums of the time...
*Sharing another one I fully restored and saved from a bad shipping experience that shipper managed to explode the right rear corner of that amazing Yamaha turntable.
This model was built in the mid 80's and only sold in Japan: Yamaha GT2000. Since the plinth was badly damaged I decided to fully strip off the original black wood veneer and do the fix/repair and redo the full wood veneer job. Much nicer than originally I would say, and also a stunning turntable delivering an amazing sound. The platter itself weight a ton!
This turntable Rocks!
Enjoy Cal and have a great weekend!
