Revitalising Vintage Violet Ray Devices

Restoration is not cosmetic repair.
It is electrical conservation.

Vintage Violet Ray devices were built with intent, balance, and precision.
True restoration preserves that intent while returning the device to safe, stable operation.

Anything else is refurbishment.

A DISCIPLINED APPROACH

Every device is treated as an individual system.

There is no universal process, because no two machines — even from the same manufacturer — behave exactly the same.

Restoration is guided by:

• Original design principles

• Electrical behaviour, not assumptions

• Period-correct methods where possible

• Modern safety only where it does not alter function

The goal is not maximum output.
The goal is controlled, correct operation.

WHAT RESTORATION INVOLVES

• Full assessment before any work begins

• Careful disassembly and preservation of original components

• Electrical stabilisation and insulation correction

• Coil, transformer, and wiring evaluation

• Individual testing and matching of glass electrodes

• Final verification under operating conditions

A device may glow and still be wrong.
Restoration ensures it isn’t.

WHY IT MATTERS

Incorrect repairs can:

• Stress original components

• Alter field behaviour

• Reduce safety

• Destroy historical value

A properly restored Violet Ray retains its function, character, and integrity.

WHAT WE DO — AND DON’T DO

We specialise in:

• Vintage Violet Ray restoration

• Historically respectful conservation

• Functional correction over cosmetic fixes

We do not:

• Overpower devices

• Perform cosmetic-only repairs

• Modify systems beyond their original design

• Rush restoration at the expense of integrity
