Important Notice (Effective 8/26/25):
Due to the increased costs from current international tariffs, our kits will temporarily ship without relays or trimming resistors. This adjustment helps us keep prices stable. Once market conditions improve, we plan to include them again.
For those items, you can easily order quality replacements from authorized suppliers such as Mouser or Digi-Key. In practice:
Trimming resistors rarely need replacement ? original parts can be cleaned with DeoxIT or similar if needed, while modern sealed types are simply an upgrade.
Relays are usually serviceable as-is, though the internal contacts may occasionally need burnishing if oxidation causes poor contact.

We need to fix the picture, this is FOR the 1040 as the listing title states.
Our Ultimate Kit for receivers includes everything you need to electronically restore and upgrade your receiver .
Our kits use only the highest quality parts from authorized distributors. These kits save you valuable time and headache in sourcing the parts yourself.
Having serviced and restored many vintage receivers in the past, our kits are accurate and vetted.
If you can solder and desolder, consider yourself handy in any other way, and are deliberate and thoughtful, you can do this!
Any audio gear over 20 years old can benefit from this procedure. Any unit over 30 years old risks failure of other parts without it. Electrolytic Caps drift and fail with time leading to a less detail, transient response, weak bass and mushy overall sound as well as potential failure leading to costly repair.
The sonic difference will likely astound you. Customers consistently tell us how much better their unit sounds after a restoration using our kit.
A restored unit also greatly increases its value.
We can provide more details on this unit if you’d like. Our documentation isn’t top secret.
Parts are separated logically by board.

Quality Parts
All signal path caps 4.7uf or lower are replaced by sonically superior film caps, most by Wima
Many units made after around 1982 have few or none of these problematic transistors
