Hi Tim,
Thanks for reacting. I assume you are the 'Tim' mentioned at
lecsonaudio.com or.....?
So, this is the story as I know it. My father in law and a neighbor,
bought both a Lecson set in the early 70's I believe. Living in the
Netherlands they had these delivered directly from the UK. They
probably were one of the first Dutch owners of Lecson equipment. He
has been using this set since, without any problems. Great looks and
a very nice sound I have to admit. Now some time ago one of the
connectors failed. I succeeded once in repairing but as it wasn't
the first time this cable was repaired and I am no hero with a
soldering iron, the fix didn't last long. Right now it looks to me
beyond repair.
This weekend I installed a Yamaha receiver (early 80's) so my father
in law could at least play some records and CD's. Wasn't top of the
bill but reasonable quality in those days I thought. But it clearly
didn't come close to what he was used to hear...... got a polite
'thank you' but........... I presume you get the picture.
I definitely want to fix this for him. Last resort would be me
buying the right DIN connectors/cable and pick up the soldering iron
again. It would be better though if someone more skilled would do
this.
So my question is if you could help out. Please let me know if you
want to/are able to.
Regards,
Rolf Beinema
