I just took a screwdriver to my Koch!
« on: April 26, 2010, 08:09:54 PM »
Took the back off my Koch this evening and found a loose pre-amp valve. I screwed my Koch back together plugged in and it works! Thanks for the advise on Koch maintenance!  :lol:

Anyone willing to place a bet on what year this joke will stop being funny?

Yeah I'm relieved it was only a minor problem. Smashing ones Koch on brickwork next to ones front door doesn't half give you a shock. It just goes to show how hard they are. Its the first thing to go wrong with it after 5 years of hard use.

It's the amount of "juice" inside the Koch that scares me... Even if the Koch hasn't been played with for a long time.

I think its best to employ a professional who's got experience of servicing other peoples Kochs.

Yeah, I suspect the technology's come on a fair bit since you bought yours Johnny - it might be worth having a look at the ads for the newer models...

Oh, you've already been looking into it... New Koch On The Block, my mistake... (sounds a bit more painful then I remember though...)
