A British guy has an electronics repair YT channel and someone sent him this Tom Evans pre-amp to fix. I am not sure of the exact symptoms but it received a fair bit of damage during shipping.
The video was an interesting watch, figuring out how to open the case and then seeing inside a vista that does not say 'this is worth 25k'. A lot of small boards wired together. Anyway the guy reverse engineers it, finds the original problem and fixes that and then he does a good job fixing up the cracked and broken acrylic case. And he is a very affable bloke so I enjoyed watching. Now, it seems, that video has been taken down by a copyright infringement, YT won't explain - but, presumably Tom Evans is behind the complaint as he won't want people to see how not-worth 25k that preamp is and, by extension, any of his other products.
