Hi Andy,
Glad you are back in music land. I get the impression that you are a man with a purpose who will not be defeated. However, if you decide against having another go yourself, my offer of sorting this out for you still stands.
Hi Ron,
Nice idea, but I have already made provision for having this work done professionally. Those who wish to have this work done for them should contact David Webb at ACS Ltd in Norfolk.

I am not trying to be unhelpful or awkward here, Ron. This decision has been taken to gradually divest myself of modification work and pass it over to David. Eventually manufacturing and business administration may go this way too. The reason for this is that the business was originally conceived as a part time, self-funding, operation but it has mushroomed into more than a full time operation over the last two years, as international interest in my products has expanded dramatically. I am at the point where I need help with the business to go further, and keep things rolling. In fact this point was reached quite a while back but I have been unable to find a solution locally as there are no indigenous electronics or quality metalworking industries on the isles. Because of this it is difficult to get staff with the right attributes here, and, fantastic though this place is, I have not yet managed to entice someone to re-locate here to join the business as the production manager. This means that I am constantly fighting to keep up with demand. Component and material sourcing issues this last year have not helped the situation either (the biggest of these has been the custom SR5 and SR7 case anodising fiasco. If you are an anodising company, what do you not understand about aluminium anodising? It’s not rocket science FFS). Fortunately I have now found a solution for this by re-designing the modules used in this case to fit a smaller case with off the shelf availability, but it should never have happened in the first place. I am primarily a design engineer and I can do without the hassle of administration and the time-consuming aspects of production. I have a lot of design work, equipment modification plans and production engineering work on hold, because I have no spare time to pursue this. It is just time to start sorting all this stuff out and get back to what I do best, rather than taking on additional modification commitments here. I will still be designing equipment modifications but once they are verified I will be passing them on to David for the actual modification service.
Regards
Paul
