Background: A couple of years ago I took early retirement to look after my dad. I was a support engineer from British Telecom and could juggle being on call 24/7 with trying to look after him as he slowly failed.
After he died, I then had time to do what I wanted and I realised I couldn't quite bring myself to put down the soldering iron. So mixing my love of hifi and engineering, I started buying broken amps, restoring them and selling them again. Not really making a profit, just loving the work and stopping these things going in to landfill. I see to have needed up just doing Yamahas as I love their looks and sound. I put my back out for this picture. Most of them are nearly finished and just need a good shake down.
