I'm glad to hear the shop is making progress and from the pics compared to when I was out there initially it's come a long way.

Are repairs being done at this time? if so I need to drop off a Luxman that needs a little bit of work on the tuner.

you might want to read up a little bit.  repairs aren't ready yet, and once the backlog is taken care of, maybe tom will take some more stuff in for repair.  as of right now though, nothing is being checked in.

Sounds like Tom has everything under control.   Everything in its own time.   I look forward to visiting it soon.   Maybe even get there to sort some parts.    Had a graduation party yesterday and spent most of today cutting a couple lawns.  Hoping to make it into the pool sometime this summer!!!

I wish I could make it up there, there's a lot I'd like to learn as far as repairs go. Sadly it's over an hour trip each way from Morgantown. I'll make it up eventually.

Do directions to your house include "turn off of the main dirt road"?  :)

That was my old house, which was followed with take the left fork, then the right and the next right, past the next 2 left forks, then bear to the right up the hill and you're almost there.

In all seriousness, the Sheriff's guys got so lost looking for another house back there that I had to hop in my truck and lead them back to the main road. They thanked me profusely.....LOL

I should have given the full story to that event as it's pretty funny. So, it was about 2 AM and these 3 cars show up outside my house on the drive to the barn. I went out to the front porch to see what the hell was going on. Mind you, it was pitch black out there and I can't see much of anything but the cars lights. So, they are just sitting there, so I ask loudly, "What are you doing back here?" They respond, "Who are you?" I say, "No, the question is who the f**k are you!?!" Long pause, "Sheriff's department" I start laughing, "You guys lost?" "Ummm, yeah."

Now that's funny.  Tom the shop looks good from all the pictures I've seen.  Congratulations and stick to your guns.  Most likely someone who is pissed because you couldn't drop everything to allow them to jump at the front of the line to service their problem.  F*** 'em.   >:D >:D

Keep it up.  I will make it there at some point.  Would like to make it sooner than later so I can help out, but not sure when this will happen.  (Work sucks).

my adcom gtp350 is suffering from what appears to be a bad solder joint somewhere causing my left channel to dissapear. A light tap on the chassis fixes the problem.  however as of late, im tapping it a bit harder as the days go by.

My next plan of action is a hammer.

Please let me know when I can take this in for repair.

G-d bless you all. You are providing a great service.

Peace,
Andrew
