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.

See :- http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...t=16655&page=2

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

Hi Andy,

I have been discussing your deck saga with David Webb at ACS and he has offered to finish the internal regulation modifications for you should you require this. This could save another disappointment if you get it wrong again.

I know there is some reluctance to ship decks around via carriers, so this would be helpful if you do not want to ship the deck to me. The round trip can be done in a day, comfortably, from where you are based and David says that if you cannot manage a trip during the working week he would, in this instance, be prepared to do this on a Saturday for you. He would just charge you for the labour involved in regulator fitting and testing. If you want David to do this for you just give him a ring to arrange a visit.

Regards
Paul

I awoke at 5:30am and whilst lying in bed and staring out of the window at todays shite weather and longing for warmer climes, I started to ponder on Pauly's psu unit for the Tekko. I thought, sympathetically, that Andy (REXTON) must certainly have dropped a brown skittle or three when he, quote: 'completely fucked up' his PCB.... I feel for you Andy, truly truly. Now with this in mind I started talking to myself, inspite of the missus telling me to 'shut up or get a cuppa tea'. This is the crux of my thoughts:

1. Why can't I JUST SEND the PCB to Pauly H?
2. Said Pauly does the necessary surgery on the PCB.
3. Pauly solders the goddam wiring onto the PCB and eliminates unwanted bits from the PCB.
4. PH then identifies and colour codes the wiring to where it/they must be screwed into connecting terminals (matching colour code).
5. Sends the circuit board back to the anxious and grateful customer.
6. The grateful customer could then connect everything up, paying due attention to colour codes and any other instructions, with the priviso that the grateful customer isn't a complete dingaling and can't even use a knife and fork, or flush a toilet
7. And finally, Pauly makes a charge for his help and time and presents his bill.

Just my musings at 5:30am on a rainy day whilst my missus has resumed her snoring, folks

Ron

Blimey, Ron. Nice to be in your thoughts at 5.30am! i didnt realise this time of day existed.

Hi Andy,

Many thanks again. I hate being beaten i'm gonna listen to the rest of my new albums and then make a decision as to what I'm doing next. Thanks for having a word with David Webb. Its an honour being in the company of such worthy audiophiles!

But that would take to fun out of tuning for maximum smoke!!

Well i can't beat 5:30 but I was thinking about you at 7:30am this morning. You're that close to having it finished that it hurts the readers on the forum every bit as much as it does you, me included.

Heart felt thanks mate. It's what makes this forum so special.

Yes, but he didn't say what he was doing when he was thinking of you, or what he was holding!
