Does anyone here offer either an amp replacement or repair service? I am not quite "up to snuff" in my electronics repair to tackle this SHP-3 amp. It's a disco jukebox... the amp currently works, but after a song or two it starts getting really staticy, etc. I am sure the caps need replacing... likely many of the resistors... and probably the pots and sliders need repair/cleaning. I bought a cap kit about 8 years ago but man, that bad boy is daunting to look at with all those caps and resistors and what not and still I don't feel I have the skills to tackle this bad boy.
I'd LOVE to send someone this "working but needs repair" amp and some cash (and I can send the cap kit too ... sure, the caps are likely not the best but all those resistors surely are fine)....in exchange for a nice working and dialed in SHP-3 (or compatible) amp.
Thanks!

So I guess this isn't something people do? Bummer... Can anyone give advise as to the average price I should be looking for when it comes to a fully operational and dialed in SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHP-3 amp?
Thanks!

Please--see our "user introduction" section, and comply with the posting rules-- then read the FAQ's section, as we list "repair persons". I charge around $350.00 + shipping, for a full repair/update on the SHP type amps. They usually run less, but it depends on what's needed. Ron Rich

Ron Rich Will do Ron... sorry if I broke a rule (will check). FWIW I already picked up a fully working/dialed in SHP1... and at the same time determined that rebuilding this one shouldn't be too difficult (i'd never removed the amp prior and I figure if I can rebuilt a monitor chassis, this shouldn't be much of an issue). |

By the way... aside from the two additional sliders on the SHP1 versus the SHP3... are there any other differences? Which is considered a better amp (if either)? Thanks! (and I think i'm not within the "rules" by including my location).  |

Hi Frizzle,
Unless you object to being addressed as "Frizzle", I would say you are within the "rules"--thanks !
A lot of changes were made during the ten + years the SHP's were built--see schematics. Typical of Seeburg's operation, they did both--tend to make "improvements", and tend to lessen their cost per unit. I think the SHP-1, with the improved, SOS circuit, and an original volume control, is the better of the bunch---Ron Rich

Frizzle... Friz... FF... hey you... any of that works. Thanks for the opinion. I think I'll rebuild my SHP3 now... it's not nearly as "scary looking" once you pull the amp and take a look under it. Heck, if I can rebuilt a G07 monitor this shouldn't be too hard. |

Hey you,
I will take a GO-7 monitor any time instead of a SHP-amp--much easier ! But, doable, IF you have Tony Millers "SHP Book".
