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.

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.

Just drill a single mounting hole. See spares list. Perspex
front panels for the HH
Music range amplifiers (IC100, IC100S, IC100L, S130, VS Musician, VS
Bassamp, MA100, S500-D) are available. See spares list. Available
again is the expanded plastic speaker grille material as was
used on the early HH combo's.
Sample prices are IC100 - £7.00, VS Musician - £9.00.
Other models please ask for quote. Original replacement
potentiometers for the early HH
models are becoming very thin on the ground, and we generally have to
dismember 2 or 3 pots to make up the exact type/shaft that you require.
Hence all old style single pots are now £3.00 each.
We are stocking the modern 16mm spline shaft miniature
pcb pots in most values. These are priced at £1 each.
Duals are £2.50, and those with the pull switch
are £4.95. See spares page.. Klemt
Echolette We supply tapes for
this machine. Correct grade of tape and correct length. £5.00

each. See spares list
