It’s true that Alpha amplifiers are amazingly robust, can continuously output legal limit power for an absurd amount of time and darn near last forever; however there are few sure things in life and when it comes to purchasing used equipment this is doubly true. Here at Alpha we believe that you should be able to purchase a used Alpha with some degree of assurance that it’s in proper working order; to aid in this endeavor we’d like to introduce our new Alpha Certified Used Amplifier Service. You wouldn’t buy a used vehicle sight unseen, so why would you purchase something as significant and expensive as an amplifier without having it inspected. Before you purchase a used amp and have it shipped half way across the country, have our techs run through our detailed pre-purchase inspection process and issue you a report on the amplifier’s health, fitness and output power. If there are problems with the amp we’ll let you know. Even what seems like the smallest burn on a band switch can end up costing you hundreds of dollar in parts and labor. It always amazes us how many amps that were sold in “perfect working condition” mysteriously become non-functional when received by their new owners. Don’t be one of those unfortunate souls, have us check over the amp you’re getting such a “great deal” on, before you commit - find out how good a deal you’re really getting!
The fee for this service varies depending on the vintage and model of amplifier. Amplifiers under warranty do not qualify for this service and are covered under our warranty transfer service.
