Title: Just Joined Up (with a purpose...)
Post by: Timster on October 11, 2014, 06:37:12 PM

I am just another old guy who went to Penn State, spent the early 80's living in Harmar Township and running a trucking terminal.  Even then I had some interesting equipment, some of which still works.  Now I'm into Carver stuff. I have gotten on and looked at some messages from time to time but just joined today. One major purpose is to find out if Vintage HiFi is still functional and, if so, how can I reach out to them? A young lady I know has volunteered to stop by (she goes by their new address every day.)  So far no luck.  I sent out a piece of equipment in to be repaired and I want to see if it has a future.  Wish me luck!

Tom is there daily, just not until the afternoon/evening.   His hours are somewhat... unconventional.

Hopefully this thread can answer some of your questions for you...

Thanks for the reply.  The post you sent me provided a full understanding of what the status is.  I hope Tom is successful in his endeavors and I guess I'll follow up as time goes by.  Maybe someday I'll find an icon I like.

Welcome to the forum.  I was at the shop last night.  They are slowly getting back in the swing of things.  The wait times are intense (I have some pieces there that have been sitting for quite some time), but well worth it.  It shouldn't be long until things are operational again.  Unfortunately, a little more patience is required.
