Linn LK240 recap

[Martin Wakely]

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this.
I want to recap my Linn LK240 amps, they’re over 20 years old and still working well.

I wondered if anyone has access to a service manual or schematics?

Linn service manuals are very hard to come by. However, you don't really need one if it's a basic recap. Stick to parts with the same capacitance, the same voltage or higher and the right physical size and you should be fine.

I did both my Kairn and Klout without a service manual.

@linnfomaniac83 might have the schematic.

LK240 is mostly surface mount so a bit of a bugg.r to service, you need to avoid changing caps out that dont need changing.

I had a look at some images. The two big filter caps are straightforward and so are the six Rubycon electrolytics. There looks to be about 10 surface mount electrolytic caps which will be more arkward. If they're solid organic polymer type I'd leave them be.
