ZAP
At ZAP we are dedicated to preserving your console's structural and sonic integrity, while at the same time working towards the enhancements that are achievable through the use of modern, high quality components.
Our guiding principles:
- Circuit boards must be treated with the utmost care. Prevention of any damage during the removal of old components is paramount
- Replacement components must be of the highest quality, with a long expected service life. There's no point in having to repeat the work in a few years!
- Replacement components shall only be upgraded so long as they fit in the space allotted to the original part
- Great attention to detail is paid in soldering in the replacement parts. Most of this work is done under magnification, and all of it is done with a special "no-clean" solder.
- Special attention is paid to "infrastructure" items like power supplies, power supply cabling and internal distribution, grounding, frame structure, motherboards and backplane boards.
