[therealjohnny]

I don't see how two of these and fixing some "iffy" joints amounts to 100 quid

Oh well

Power or preamp tubes need replacing I would guess.
Assuming it's a tube amp...

You were right.

He Charges per the hour, plus parts.
Have always found his pricing to be fair

How much dos he charge per hour?

 

[therealjohnny]

Putting it all together 2 Fender tubes probably cost @60 quid

General maintenance and labour made up the rest

 

[ernesto]

How much dos he charge per hour?

Think I worked it out at about €20 p/h maybe less

 

[Space]

No way he's working for 20 quid an hour or less imo, more like 30-40 which is totally fair.

Here's a good list of variations on tube prices.

Think I worked it out that at the time I was getting three things looked at and they were about €30 each but including parts. Any of them may have taken less than or more than an hour.
Maybe closer to €30p/h but job could take a lot less or sometimes more than that given hour

last night during my map made a terrible noise that sounded like a fire alarm. It was the same high pitch of a dead tube but it was oscillating instead of one long screech. I turned the amp off and tied to replicate it but couldn't.

Any idea what it was? A power surge maybe? Should I be suing a surge protector with this amp?

You should be suing auto-correct.
Sorry I can't help you with your cartography interests

My amp keeps blowing fuses.
Anyone any experience with jimis for amp repair? Or should I just make the trip across to Nolan?

 

[Space]

Go to Nolan I reckon.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Fair enough.
