BAL-AMi Restoration Project Down Under
One of the regular contacts to
this site is Graeme Harvey, who lives in Australia. In 2007,
Graeme finished restoring a BAL-AMi I200M. Below are some photos of
the project.
This I200M was purchased, in
working order, by Graeme in Brisbane and shipped 2,000km over
to Victoria.
The perspex windscreen had
scratches and even holes in it. A mould was made from the screen and
a new one manufactured from it.
The coin gear was, and still is,
missing - if anyone knows of a source, drop me a line.
After the strip-down, all screws,
springs and internal metal were sent for re-plating.
The amp was stripped down and
rebuilt with new EL34 valves.
