ABOUT US:

MAJ Electronic was founded in 1974 by Michael and Jane Ameson, to service, repair, design and manufacture amplification and associated equipment within the professional music industry. A woodwork department was set up in 1980 to satisfy the need for more and more cabinets, and case and flight case production, an offshoot of this move, began in 1983.

In 1990 old friends Laney Electronics acquired the HH company of Cambridge and invited Michael to purchase the obsolete stock of this company, and look after the spares and servicing of the old models. This we did, and still do today. We have continued production of necessary popular replacement pcb's and cosmetic spares for these units, and still produce in house replacement diaphragm assemblies for the now defunct HF300 and CD400 tweeter units.. We provide official worldwide backup, in the form of spares service and information, for obsolete Laney and HH products.

Here in 2007, MAJ Electronic also have a small but established range of high quality amplification products, which have stood the test of time and continue to sell well despite the onslaught of imported equipment. We also continue to produce all manner of cases and loudspeaker cabinets, and supply spares for HH/Laney and other early British amplification products.

Michael and Jane have a daughter Katherine, who is now 14. She is pictured above aboard a BSA C15 motorcycle restored by Michael.

LEICA and CANON 35mm CAMERAS
I have decided to sell some of my Leica and Canon photographic equipment. Namely: (1) 1950's Leica IIf camera with Leicavit trigger winder base, 5 Leica lenses, filters, accessories, in dedicated "Reporter" style leather case. (2) 1970's Canon A1 camera with 4 lenses. Prime standard and Wideangle, plus long and short Zooms. All Canon. Dedicated Canon flash, motor winder, accessories. (3) 1950's Leica IIIg camera with f2 collapsible Summicron and case. All items mint condition, all very useable, Leica's have good investment potential. May split/mix lots. Cherry picking welcome. Genuine reason for sale - too many systems.. Will consider any Leica M series items as PX. First advertisement.

Laney and HH REPLACEMENT CONTROL KNOBS

HH IC100/IC100S/IC100L/VS Musician/VS Bassamp/MA100 etc. Original knobs are NO longer made or available. We have two options to replace these: 1) Our official replacement is sized between the large and small originals. They are chrome electroplated with knurled sides and look very good. 2) Send in the old knobs and we will refurbish them. This is not rocket science but involves stripping, flatting, priming, washing, and then painting in one of the now available "Chrome look" paints. It is NOT electroplating as the originals were but the results are very good. Very labour intensive - our charge is £2.50 per knob with a minimum order of 10 knobs. For details of how to do this yourself see the M101 service manual. Better wear your finger out than mine...

HH Performer/Power Baby/Super60/Bass machine/Bass Baby/Studio 60/ Studio 60B/Micro30. Most available. Specify D or splined shaft and cap colour.

HH Mixers Stereo 8/12/16/SM200. State cap colour required. Available.

LANEY AOR, SESSION and PRO TUBE AMPS. Original pattern control knobs with correct black with white line caps still available for these amps. These are 1/4" D shaft push fit.

Laney Linebacker Early. Original, hard black with white line caps. These are 0.25" D shaft - if yours are 6mm you will need a spot of glue and/or a filler spacer. I can advise on this..

Laney Linebacker Late/World series/BC/GC series. Soft touch 6mm spline fitting, replacements are very similar but NOT exactly the same. Better to order a set.

HH Miscara/PD desks. (early 1990's) Grey knobs with coloured inserts, 4mm D shaft fixing. Available.

All knobs are 80p plus post and VAT - minimum posting value £7.50 inc.
