ENGL guitar amplifiers
Another couple of these in the other day. I am not sure what the guitarists think of these amps from a sound point of view, I’d rather change a bogie motor on a British Rail 125 loco whilst it’s ...
Altair MF24

London City DEA100 Mk5!!
Just to set the scene. A warmer than average day for this time of year, a nice bag of oranges brought in by a customer, wild animals jumping twix palm tees, the odd shooting outside over drug dealing ...
Eddystone HF Receiver 840C
Another day in the Zeta Services play pen, employing my enormous talent, repairing TV after TV for people that don’t realize and appreciate the honour they have bestowed upon them. Then, the monotony ...
Fender PA100
Not seen one of these Fender variations before. basically looks like a Twin Reverb / Bassman 100 Watt, with a reverb unit and 4 basic inputs. This one lead me on a merry dance to start with and for ...
