Criminals don't care. That's one of the reasons they're criminals.  Kids 
kill other kids for shoes. It's a sad world.

Really sorry to hear that Gino. 
 
Ditto  on the "scum" comment someone already made. The relative pittance 
that they  get for most of the stuff they steal vs. the inconvenience and 
headache they  cause for the victim is indeed criminal.
 
Good  luck with replacing or locating.

Last Thursday somebody stole my pedal board and a guitar.  The board  had 
an old Sola Tonebender a Trem Face, Wah Face and Colursound OD and  Memoryman 
rehoused to used knobs. All of the stuff is really old and I  can get away 
with replacing most of it with modern copies. There are a couple  of things 
that I can't do without and I am stupidly particular about  them.
 


I need buy, beg, borrow ,steal some old  electronic parts to reconstruct a 
NoName (I assume Sola) Tonebender and and a  Colursound sustainer. If 
anybody knows how I can get some old Germanium  transistors, real ones used or 
new. I would be really grateful.  20 years  ago they were common parts in the 
UK. In school I built amps for my friends so  I am pretty sure I can build 
the two pieces that might cost me thousands to  replace.


Any advice from you tone gods, I am all  ears.


Thanks for being the great group of folks  you are..  I have been meaning 
to say theat for a while


Best


Gino
