Our Ultimate Kit for Nikko Receivers includes everything you need to electronically restore and upgrade your Nikko.

Our kits use only the highest quality parts from authorized distributors. These kits save you valuable time and headache in sourcing the parts yourself.

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.
