Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

It may be a hard fact to accept and I don't write this to irritate, but 
as someone mentioned in another forum or list: With neither cash nor 
ability to fix something - better stick with new gear.
I'm fortunate enough to have had patience to learn basic electronics to 
solve smaller problems myself. When out of skills and/or knowledge I 
have a good friend who loves digging into old gear.
I'm not saying the SDS-9 isn't a pain to repair, many digital things 
are. But if you plan on a life with ancient electronic instruments you 
have the mentioned choices, pay someone or do it yourself 'cause the 
gear won't survive forever.
BTW - I think many of us europeans prefer if Michael stays here! ;)
