Standel Repair

Paul Rauch · Post by **Paul Rauch** » 26 Mar 2007 3:10 am

My Artist XII has developed a loud hum. I'm reluctant to take it to a local shop. Maybe I've read too much about the special parts in them. Suggestions and opinions appreciated . Paul

The schematics for the epoxied preamp modules are available on the Standel website. Also I heard of a tech in Los Angeles named Tin Maag who figured out the secret of the preamp modules before the schematics were available and knows Standels inside out. I don't have his number handy. Send me a reminder email and I'll try to dig it up for you.

Thanks for the name. I'm leaning toward sending it off for repair by a Standel technician. Since it's a piggy back and the speakers are ok, it wouldn't be that big of a job.
I also have a Standel Studio 24 that I'm using right now while the Artist XII is down.
I used a Fender twin for 30 odd years; and, bought a Cyber Twin. I don't like it much.

Also, another that Standel recognises is Woody Woodel, from Nashville area. (615)-851-7058 He used to service Chet Atkin's Standel. Of course, Woody is also one of the finest speaker reconers on the planet, too.

Danny at Standel himselfe told me to give Tim Magg a call on my artest piggy back,,,,,, so you might want to give him a call, and he also came highly recomended by my Standel geek friends.

Thank you very much for those names and phone numbers. I will feel confident in sending it off for repair. Paul

Just to let you know, Mr. Mckinney, of Standel recommended Woody to me, personally. I'm sure either gentleman knows their standel bizzzz.

Where in Ohio are located? A loud hum could be a open filter cap. If you live near Columbus, I could take a look for you and maybe save all that shipping costs

Paul
I recommend you take Marvin Born's advice. It sounds like a filter capacitor to me. It is a simple repair for a qualified tech. I've been fixing amps for over 30 years for a living and could probably do it in less than an hour on my worst day. No need to ship it off unnecessarily.
