Linn to axe cd players.

I've got a LK1 pre amp that is knackered, when you plug it in it makes a constant tone and the buttons are locked, any ideas?

I've seen you system on the other thread - just wondering what on earth you would do with the Linn even if you got it working? Cost of repair would probably be more than resale value I would think.

It belongs to a mate who lives in France, he wanted me to get rid of it for him but it has developed this fault

I see. Spares or repairs only then I suppose. Such a shame as the casework, power switch etc are all such great quality on these things it seems wrong to just bin then when they eventually pack in.

The LK1 can cook its regulators and the first thing to check would be here. The supply caps were upgraded to 10,000uF ones in the late 80's, so you could check these as well.

Linn stopped support long ago for this IIRC and you must remember that the components were soldered through the board (made by IBM I was told) and component replacement must be done with care.
