RE: Echoplex input issues

["Andy Ewen" <andy.ewen@btinternet.com>]

'British audio service' is actually Shane, (ex-Gibson service manager),
he's just set up the company and is in 'headless chicken mode' I
presume. Please be patient, he'll get back to everyone soon. I think
Gibson are completely shutting their service dept. but I don't have
official details of who's doing what yet.

If you e-mail me an address, I'll send out a bunch of new SIMMs and
other socketted chips. This may cure your problem and will only take a
few minutes to try. No charge for this; I'd rather you keep your sanity
;)

Regards,
Andy.

mark,
the same thing is happening to one of my edp's, an oberheim one. it 
still is not working. i have called 'british audio service', the 
company that does repairs for gibson products but they have not 
returned my call, and i am getting impatient. would you have a contact 
at gibson you could forward me privately? this is driving me crazy.
best, laurent
