This unit has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out as well as the internal controls and pots have been professionally cleaned and properly lubricated to ensure excellent performance. All capacitors, transistors and resistors have been verified to be in spec and replaced as needed. We use a stricter 5% tolerance when checking all parts to ensure a long future for your "new" vintage purchase. Most specifications allow for a +- 20% discrepancy and we use +- 5%. All solder joints have been checked for cold joints under magnification and reflowed where necessary including the high heat areas that notoriously fail if not maintained and serviced. We use Nichicon High Temp Electrolytic Capacitors (UPW, UKL, etc), Nichicon Muse Capacitors, Elna Silmic II Capacitors, Panasonic Electrolytic and Film Capacitors, WIMA Stacked Film Capacitors as well as Zetex, OnSemi and Fairchild semiconductors and Xicon 1% metal film resistors when needed. Bourns Multi-Turn and Sealed Variable Resistors (Potentiometers) are used for critical adjustment points. Omron Audio Grade Relays are used in protection circuits. Most consider these the best choices for vintage restorations and we always upgrade the voltage and temperature minimums on capacitors when appropriate to provide even longer service than the originals. This unit is ready to go! It came in working well, but we thoroughly go through the unit to ensure its longevity.
All controls, faceplate, case covers, internal chassis, fan and input connections were detailed, lubricated, deep polished and ultrasonically cleaned where appropriate. This cleaning process alone takes 2 to 3 hours with the complete dismantling of the unit.
The lamps were serviced while the unit was dismantled. All service manual calibrations have been performed throughout the unit and they are spot on. The Alpha VI has such a wonderful level of performance. It's arguably the best sounding high powered amp that Nikko ever made. This unit comes ready to enjoy in average cosmetic condition with average wear and tear for a unit this age as shown in the pictures. This unit was not abused by the original owner and it comes from a non-smoking home. The pictures show just how nice the unit is and you can zoom in on each picture to see additional details.
