Local Craigslister is advertising a DeVille 212 with Fromel upgrades. Says that "high-end Fromel electronic upgrades" have given the amp more sweepable volume pot, high-end capacitors, metal input jacks, etc.

I don't know anything about Fromel... thoughts???

Most important is who do the mod ? A qualified tech or a handy man who do a poor job and the amp will give lots of problem ?

This amp is not easy to work on , a unqualified person may do very bad job .

Without a proof I would not buy it

Cant say anything bad about Fromel. The mods they provide is stellar.

I have to agree with Stratele52 on his points.. If it the person was qualified or had a techdo it; i'd say go for it.

It will save you your time. (repairing it later)

+1 If the mods were done by a hack, it could wind up a nightmare. Fromel upgrades never really impressed me. I wouldn't touch a modded HRD series amp.
