Hi Roly. I found your site while looking for a schematic for my Vadis 600R serial 6059, and believe it would be helpful to regional players in the N.E Vic / Southern NSW region to be listed with OZvalveAmps as a repairer, as well as being helpful to my pursuit of viewing and repairing more of these units.

I am building and repairing amps on a professional basis - experience in this field stretches back to the 1970's, so I have worked on every major brand and most obscure brands too, models dating from 1950's up to current models.
Warranty brands include Carr (USA), Marshall, Laney, Vox, Peavey, Ampeg and others.
I do solid-state repairs as well, check with me first.
Based in Gosford (Wyoming) NSW Central Coast but actually accepting repairs/upgrades from Melbourne to QLD regional cities.
I do amp repairs for most of the regional music shops plus Bondi Intermusic of Bondi Junction (Sydney) a well-known boutiquey shop, they have been sending
their valve amps to me for approx the last 10 years; this includes the CARR amps from North Carolina USA, which they import.
I also now publish a weekly Blog, which includes examples of interesting repair jobs, etc, with photo's.

Currently I'm a tech working for the No 1 Samsung service centre located in Roseville.

My amp repair business, Stockport Sound, is in the Clare and Gilbert Valleys, South Australia (that's about 120 kms due north of Adelaide).
I am endorsed for warranty work by Ashton and Laney, but do repairs and mods to every kind of valve amp ever made, and even fix the odd sand amp (silicon transistor).
I do amp repairs for most of the music shops north of Adelaide.
I learned my electronics skills with the RAAF in the late 60's early 70's when valves were not an alternative, they were the only way to go.
I have a Goldentone ReverbMaster and a 60 watt Strauss, still enjoy playing bass in a number of local bands and even do solo shows on guitar with a MIDI machine.
