Since I became interested in vintage Quads, I've seen lots of 63s on eBay in various states of disrepair, but not so many fully served pairs.
I picked up a pair recently which had a low output on one speaker. It was a bit of a gamble, but I thought that perhaps they just needed some attention to the electronics.
I've now got a service quote from Quad. They are saying that one speaker had no DAG application, so needs all the panels replacing. In order to get the two speakers matched, they say a full service is necessary, which would be just over £1K.
So it seems I gambled and lost! The question is how much would they be worth if I go for the full service but then don't find that I want to keep them?
