Happy 4th to you too, Bruce. Ribs are going on the grill in about 1/2 an hour. Am drinking the preliminary beer right now. My station will be in a chair next to the grill. Left hand holds a paperback, right hand a cold beer. Turn ribs every 15 minutes. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon. Bruce Daily wrote:

Off Topic- Techinician who can fix Clavioline and Solovox sought
2009-07-05 by Thomas C. Doncourt
Ok, I love my Mellotron the most but that's working great. I need a technician who can fix the assortment of Claviolines and Solovox's I've collected. Some of them "almost" work (most frustrating). For some reason I feel compelled to play "Telstar" or at least have that exact sound- something I can't get out of my system! Ken Leonard suggested Phil Cirocco or Ken Lightener but I have not been able make contact with either. Mark Wallis is either in L.A. or England, I might consider sending it to Hammond Hire "Alpha Entek". Any thoughts out there?

Thanks for asking: the Clavioline needs new felt under the keys, most of the presets don't work including the vibrato. I've tried cleaning all the contacts with Deoxit with some slight improvements. It's a Gibson concert model. The Model L Solovox is functioning except for the vibrato but I'd like it cleaned up and fully working. There's got to be a good keyboard tech somewhere stateside who is available?! We've got two great mellotron guys right here on the east coast---TD

PS.. I worked for Hammond Hire/AlphaEntek for a while..
In fact, if you've seen pics on their sites of a clavioline or Jennings Univox in bits... those would be my hands holding them.
You might just catch a glimpse of my Horrid Purple Corduroy Flares in there too.
Their workshop's located in Coventry, England.
If you're thinking about shipping them over here anyway.. I'd be happy to do them ;-)
Best whooshes,
MSW
