The Hinds has been relisted, same price but now open to offers. Looking at it again I wonder if its actually a repainted/re-badged lugless Claud Butler? ... nice project for someone either way.

Tandem anyone? Nice George Longstaff in Godalming. Comes with roof rack too:

He's attitude was basically: once the work is done you'll end up with an amazing sounding amp so therefore it's great value. A fair point but only if you have £100s to throw at an entry level 40 year old amp (it was an A&R A60).
My Luxman is the L-113a. There are schematics online but my electronic skills don't go beyond taking the lid off and blowing the dust out. Maybe I'll message Armstrong Audio and see what they say...

The internet suggests that London Sounds is still going.
I actualy contacted him a few years ago (probably 10!) about changing the speaker connectors on a different amp and he basically wanted to rebuild the whole amp at great expense. He clearly knows his stuff but I couldn't and I imagine still can't afford that level of expertise!

Cheers, maybe I'll look for somewhereelse. I think at least one of the capacitors probably needs replacing as it looks a little swollen and one of the indicator bulbs has gone. I've used Bartletts previously but they're not taking in repairs at the moment. ..
Any recommendations?

Seller says 25" but it measurements shows 26 1/2" which looks about right. Note the shifter on the back of the seat tube probably for flicking on a dynamo.
Same era Steve Goff in Darlington. Also claiming to be 25" but this looks more like 23 1/2".

Nonowt on the Retrobike forum too.
