These machines have been TOTALLY taken apart

and re-assembled with every mechanical upgrade and new parts. There is

simply no way to service every electrical connection, switch, or control

without following this procedure. Every wiring harness and connection has

been treated with Caig R-5 power booster for supreme performance

characteristics. This product was not even invented at the time of

manufacture. The entire head assembly gets updated. The 2 track playback

head is a new high output low noise extended range head that was not

available when this deck was manufactured. This one head alone is a thousand dollar head.

The other 3 heads are all resurfaced and are as close to new as possible. If any of

the heads need to be replaced they are replaced. After the careful assembly

all of the settings and calibrations are performed. Again, without proper

servicing of every component these adjustments are not possible to perform

with any accuracy.

Even the feet on this machine have been changed from the cheap plastic stock feet

to polished stainless steel! See the picture above left.

Old boards left new right

For example, an old car from the 60's can

get a quickie restoration and it will run, but there is no comparison to a

complete off body restoration performed properly with every nut and bolt taken apart and

replaced. A tape deck off of Ebay will not even come close to the

performance levels of one that has been properly overhauled. Whenever I get

an inquiry from a customer about buying off of Ebay I tell them the same

thing. If they feel they can save money and buy an Ebay item and send it to

me to be overhauled they will find out quickly that they'll spend as

much or more to achieve the same result as what they'd get if they just bought a United Home Audio deck

in the first place. They also will never attain the cosmetic upgrades

unless they spend what we did and go thru all the procedures

we did in order to produce this product. The pictures of the various

upgraded parts are great but they don't and can't begin to show the picture

of what actually goes into one of these machines. The parts will show just some of the improvements, the

pictures are only of the process that gets you to the awe you will experience when you see and hear the machine.
