Krell Restoration


Want to restore my FPB-200. Works fine, but must repair my 802s and thought I should have the Krell caps checked out and replaced as needed. It's been 15 years of hard use. Should I send it to Krell, or use a local, highly regarded specialist located near me on the West Coast? Got the Krell carton, but shipping could be deadly. Any experience with third party repair?

Older FPB-200 and KCT-3 were re-caped by Krell.Sounded wonderful.  New caps are faster, cleaner, and quieter.
Big threat is a Large cap cracking and meltdown ruining your circuit board.
Upgraded to KCT and 400cx.  KCT was re-caped by Steven Leckrone (no one better).  Too difficult for Krell.
Have not looked at this thread in years.
Have a new Krell Illusion ($16,550) for $8300.
