I just got off the phone with the owner of a company that distributes electronic parts and components, and does prototype engineering and manufacturing. He is willing to talk to you about products or projects that you would like to develop. Obviously prototyping involves Non recurring engineering costs that may make some projects cost prohibitive if you only want to build 1 unit. However, if there are many people that want the same device these costs could be spread over the volume of units built. Some of his designs that I have seen (and heard) are tube audio amplifiers, pentode audio preamps, triode audio preamps, low cost high power rf broadcast transmitters, and very high current variable power supplies. I have also seen some of his restoration work on vintage shortwave receivers and transceivers and his work is immaculate. The company is Frontier Engineering, in Longmont Colorado. Their web page is at: http://www.freng.com/ The owner is Dave Wilson. Their phone number is voice: 303 776-6242 Fax: 303 776-6080. E-mail: sales@freng.com, Technical inquiries: eng@freng.com. They are distributors for Maplin Electronics, a UK firm. Frontier sells all kinds of parts, tools, supplies, devices (rf, audio, video....) and some cool electronic kits. I noticed some interesting sound making chips in the catalog. The Frontier web page only shows a small amount of what is in the catalog, so request a catalog if you like to build, fix or modify electronic devices. I have no affiliation with Frontier Electronics. I just recently visited their showroom, and development facility and was impressed by Dave, both his personality and abilities. Turns out he and I worked at the same disk drive manufacturer a while back (no wonder he looked familiar).
