New to The Carver site

[THammond 9]

I hope I did this right by starting a New Topic to introduce myself.  I have a Carver 4000 pre-amp that my late husband and I have owned since approx 1983.  He had kept it in condition and has sent it in for repairs at least once over those years.  Now I have an issue with the power switch (button) and need some input and direction on how to fix it or get it fixed.

I look forward to the expertise on this site.  I miss listening to our album collection since the power switch went bad.

Thanks,

Teresa

Hello Teresa, and welcome to thecarversite.com! Glad you found us.

 

You did great with your introduction, and I'm sorry for your loss. 

 

I am certainly not a tech, but I would contact @Nahash5150, the head technical guru here. He also has his business website at  https://nelionaudio.com/. He can hook you up. They're located in Michigan.

 

I use a Carver 4000t preamp in my main stereo rig, and I love it. I hope you get your pre-amp going again. What other gear do you have?

 

Again, welcome!

Welcome to the site Teresa @THammond.  Glad you found us.

 

Are you technically savvy at all?  My intent is to learn if the help you seek is to find a tech, or to get in there and be the tech.  We got both kinds of new members here.

 

The safest is to work with Nelion, as already suggested - that requires sending the preamp to them.

 

OTOH, a power switch going bad is something that a good local tech *might* also be able to source and repair for you if that is all your preamp needs.

Welcome Teresa!  Enjoy your stay!  Plenty of folks here that can offer good advice on how to approach a project such as yours.  You definitely can't go wrong with Nelion.  I've sent a couple of pieces to Greg and Jenny for repair/restoration.  Absolutely top notch work!

Thank you all for your responses.  Nope, not tech savy in this area........I do appreciate the information on Nelion.  I will probably go that way.  I wondered around the site a little and will do so some more.  I love the Carver and really want it working again.

 

Thanks,

Teresa
