Luxman T-100 FM AM Tuner 120V/240VAC Full Restoration Upgrade by CondorAudio

Description

WELCOME to CONDORAUDIO, located in Jerusalem Israel.
For more than 30 years, we have been providing professional, one-stop, no-excuses manufacturer-authorized service for many premium brands, including Arcam, B&O, Bose, Dual, Grundig, Kenwood, Luxman, Marantz, NAD, Philips, Tandberg, Technics, Thorens, and many others.
No matter what your concern, besides Ebay's limited messaging system here, you can also contact me DIRECTLY via the main page at CondorAudio.
Whatever you need done to your equipment, it is NO PROBLEM. And always done right, the first time!
This Tuner had a defective mains transformer. I elected to discard the idea of installing an exact replacement (E-type), and install instead a US-made AMVECO Magnetics 62073-P2S02 Toroid, which matches the exact voltage requirements of this Tuner. Those who know, know that Toroid Transformers supply a far more stable and efficient current than regular common square (E-type) transformers, and are usually found on only the most expensive and exotic audio equipment.
The circuit boards have been completely overhauled - all joints resoldered with Kester leaded solder, electrolytics replaced with Nichicon, Panasonic and Wima 105°C low-ESR capacitors. The 12V regulator is now a 2-Amp High-Current unit made by ST. The 2 filters are Murata 10.7MHz 150KHz.
The Tuner has been completely aligned and calibrated - it receives stations which are relatively difficult to receive, and the THD Mono is now an outstanding 0.011%, Stereo 0.125%, far below that specified in the technical manual.
It will operate in either a US Spec or Euro Spec format - just advise me how you want it set up.
Please visit my website CondorAudio and browse through a small selection of the many technical projects I have completed for hundreds of satisfied customers all over the world, during my 20+ years in business. You are not buying from a fly-by-nighter looking to dump defective products on naive buyers, but from a well-established real, live legitimate business committed to your satisfaction.
Your restored machine will give you uninterrupted pleasure for many years to come. This upgrade is designed with the finest high-reliability, long-lasting components from Germany and Japan.
Parts kits are available, if you want to do the work yourself, or have a local tech do it, however, please understand that the repair of SMD devices is a highly specialized task, and small mistakes can destroy the PCB. NO MORE PCB's are available from Luxman at all.

SHIPPING
This ships from Jerusalem Israel. The cheaper rate is Seamail and can take up to 3 months. The higher rate is Airmail and can take up to 1 month.
Economy Shipping will take approximately 50-75 Business days.
Priority Shipping will take approximately 17 Business days.
RETURNS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
There is a No-Returns policy on this item. This is due to Ebay's new policies, which specify a minimum of 14-days to be offered. Unfortunately there are unscrupulous buyers who take advantage of this generous policy to buy a perfectly-fuctioning unit such as this one, remove the functional parts and re-install defective parts previously removed from their own non-perfect units, and then return a previously-perfect (but now defective) unit for a refund. No, not here.
I maintain a large inventory of spare parts, and in the unlikely event that any component should fail in the future, I can ship out replacement parts, after you return the defective one (all PCB's and subassemblies on my restored units are specially coded to prove that they originally came from me). I regard this as a fair alternative which ensures that my customers have excellent support now, and well into the future.
In the picture, any bright spots are from the flash, and dark spots are shadows. No damage unless specified.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BY BIDDING, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD IN ADVANCE, AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY AND ACCEPT THESE CONDITIONS WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS, WHATSOVEVER.
1. SHIPPING
We ship worldwide by the following methods,within 3 business days of receipt of payment. :
a. Valuable Electronic Equipment – EMS ExpressMail. This is fully insured and trackable. Delivery time from 3-7 business days worldwide.
b. Electronic Parts – Registered AirMail. This is uninsured, but trackable. You may specify an upgrade to EMS at extra cost. Delivery time from 7-20 business days worldwide.
c. Printed Matter – SeaMail. Because Airmail is generally much more expensive, it makes sense to ship heavyweight low-value printed matter by sea. Insurance and tracking are optional at slightly extra cost. Delivery time from 15-60 business days worldwide.
d. If you have an account with a worldwide shipper, feel free to specify them as your choice.
2. SHIPPING COSTS
IMPORTANT - DISREGARD THE EBAY SHIPPING CALCULATOR
We aim to keep the cost of shipping honest and economical.
Nobody likes to be fleeced. So it's real simple.
We give you the weight of the shipment, so you can check the costs yourself on the IsraelPost website. Add .00 for packaging of printed materials, and up to for packaging of large-sized expensive electronic equipment, and that's the price you pay.
No hidden, inflated costs.
YES, we combine items to reduce shipping costs.
3. PACKAGING
We are proud that since we started selling internationally on ebay in 2003, we have NEVER had any equipment damaged in transit.
The reason is real simple – we make the proper effort, and don't cut corners.
All electronic equipment is double-boxed, using the strongest materials possible.
First the equipment is packed in plastic, in its original carton, or a close substitute.
Then that carton is packaged inside another double- or triple-walled carton, with at least 5cm airspace on all sides. That airspace is then filled with polystyrene, to prevent any shocks damaging the equipment.
It is then sealed completely with strong packaging tape.
Of course, this kind of quality packaging doesn't come for free, but we think we do a real good job of keeping your mind at peace, so you don't have to worry about damage-in-transit.
Printed matter is first sealed in plastic wrap to prevent any moisture damage from a sea voyage.
Then it is wrapped in a cushioned envelope, or carton, depending on size. It is then sealed completely with strong packaging tape.
4. METHODS OF PAYMENT
Full payment must be made before your goods are shipped.
We accept PayPal. If paying by PayPal, you must pay me within 2 days of end-of-auction.
We also accept direct bank transfer to our bank in Israel. Once you are ready to buy, we will give you details to make the transfer.
In Israel we accept local cheques, but we require a waiting period of 7 business days to ensure that the funds have cleared.
If I do not receive any communication from you within 2 days of end-of-auction, I will treat you as a non-paying bidder.
5. NON-PAYING BIDDERS
I will not hesitate to use all eBay methods available to levy penalties from non-paying bidders.
If you are not serious, then DO NOT BID!!!!
ON A LAST NOTE:
BID WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE!!!!
On all items, I GUARANTEE satisfaction, or your money will be cheerfully refunded (minus shipping costs).
All emails will be replied to promptly during business hours Monday to Friday.
I have been in business for 24 years, providing only top-class products to discerning and picky customers who refuse to settle for second-best.
My success, and your gain, is based on sourcing the very best products from relatively unknown, uncommon, and out-of-the-way places.
BID WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE!!!!
