Lol....!! Sorry for the delay, chaps, but moi is a busy boy, you know!
Ok, I had a long chat yesterday with John, as indeed I have had today with Geoff. Unfortunately, in terms of attempting to solve their dispute, I now don't know who to believe, as they both come across as very plausible and nice people!
However, obviously one of them is not being entirely honest.....
After I spoke yesterday with John, and he put his side of the story to me, I asked him to collate in an email, in the form of 'bullet points', what we'd discussed on the phone, which he duly did, and I enclose this below so that you can attempt to make up your own minds who's at fault, and also so that Geoff can reply to John's remarks and defend his side of the story.
From John yesterday:
What I would add is that John has now offered to pay for a courier to collect the amp from Geoff, and once he receives the amp back in the same condition as it left him, he has promised to refund Geoff in full.
I shall comment more later, but right now it's over to you guys (and Geoff)
Marco.

If John has offered a full refund after return of the amp I don't think such an offer should be refused no matter what has gone on before.
I was greatly surprised that anyone would accept copies of emails as proof of anything. Those and indeed, official looking court papers, could be produced very easily indeed these days. I could do it easily. Eastbourne court records are not available on line so it would be hard to double check the whole thing. Again, this is not to doubt anyone's word, just making the point.
Strange about the remote control which seems to be highlighted as a complaint when the man has never made such a thing.
I reckon it would be best to write this whole thing off as a misunderstanding. Allow the amp to be collected and accept the refund. The time comes when you just have to trust someone.

1 what was asked for by email was later changed by phone so emails don't reflect the full story.
2 I don't and have never made remote volume power amps which was his first enquiry .
3 Emails are very easy to alter I would never offer them as proof if it were me.
4 I think it was his intention in the first place to get the money back no matter what, and keep the amp that's why he was saying one thing by email then making changes by phone he never sent any mail reflecting what was said in the phone calls
5 At first he was going to collect the amp from me and then insisted I send it, If he had collected it like every one else most of his points would not have been relevant ! and I think he was well aware of that.
6 He never paid me for the shipping witch cost me £160.00 witch he ordered at the last minute
7 An Invoice was sent with pictures as he requested which he approved and then paid .
8 I paid one trip for the amp he needs to step up and pay the other way.
9 I offered to refund him on more-than one occasion.
10 He wanted a refund without sending the goods back which will never happen
11 And now there is also a matter of the court case which in my opinion was somehow illegal I have a legal right as a defendant to have any case made against me heard in the city where I live and he changed this on 3 occasions having the case heard in my absence I have been making HiFi amps now for 50 years built my first when I was 5, yes I am 55 my work is all over the world with only one bad customer and you have him on your website
Many thanks
John Wood
With regard to the above, it's a list of untruths which saddens me but doesn't surprise me at all.
