Amp tech, mod , repair questions via email
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 12:00 pm
Just want to throw out that I am having more trouble than usual keeping up with emails asking about mods, repairs, restorations, part recommendations and resources etc lately. It usually takes a while, but I try eventually reply to as many as I can.
I am honored that people consider me a reliable source of info on old Marshalls and amps in general. I wish I could disseminate more info, I do try to share as much as possible.
Unfortunately, I am selling my time to the companies that I am doing freelance design and contracted manufacturing for these days. It's taking up all of my hours and resources, leaving very little for answering general amp questions. I find I have to stick with what's paying the bills, obviously.
I have deadlines to deliver products and designs to as many as 6 different companies right now, so I am here to offer a broad, sweeping apology to those who I am not able to reply to. It occurred to me last week when I was answering emails going back as far as Jan 2011 that I need to change my approach.
If you have emailed me with questions about amps, parts, specs, how-to advice, which company has the best kit out there these days, can I date your old amp, etc please accept my sincere apology for not being able to respond. I hate to say it but my day gig is preventing me from doing so.
The single best thing you can do with these questions, IMO is to post them here on the forum. There are some really terrific techs here who are happy to offer their knowledge.
To those who email requesting info specific to my products (old or new), I'm just not interested in sharing my CAD files, manufacturing resources, complete transformer specs, board drilling templates and so on.
Thanks all,
george
