Hi guys, I am a loyal admirer of old and new Conrad Johnson products.
Among the various devices I'm the proud owner of a pair of fantastic Premier 5 amps, I'd like to revalve and refurbish.
Please any advice about which valves to use and if need to replace the original capacitors.
I am also looking for the face plate of the right channel (or both) as it has been damaged during transport.
I hope in you
Bye
Cristian

Re: Premier Five
Hi Cristian,
Don't own the Premier 5 myself, but I have ordered tubes from CJ directly and never had a bad experience or outcome. So I guess that would be one place to go. I've also ordered from tubedepot before. Sorry, I can't make specific suggestions. Let us know what you think if you do get to do some tube rolling.

Re: Premier Five
CJ also has a Teflon-capacitor upgrade for the Premier 5; you might ask what that costs...but I'm sure it will be a bit breathtaking, as will the cost of 16 high-quality EL-34 output tubes.
Do let us know what you do.

Re: Premier Five
Many thanks, 3 days ago I sent CJ service my questions, but no answer at the moment
About face plates, Do you think is possible to find as spare parts?

Re: Premier Five
CJ is usually really good with customer service. Not sure if this coronavirus has changed their business, maybe that is the reason for the delay. I think if you are looking for a faceplate only, CJ will most likely be the only place that may have one. Not a lot of CJ faceplates floating around on the free market.
