Oh dear, my amp repairer is closed to new business. He's moving away from the area too, so he's a closed door to me. Shame. Nice bloke, good amp repairer. Cheers Steve.
But it's a nuisance, because I'm left with a couple of amps taking space in my garage. They've been sitting there too long. I have a new one that works, and I should have shipped these old ones out long ago. I just checked out Steve to see if he would be happy just to take the old ones (no charge), but he doesn't want to take any such calls. Don't blame him - he's busy ... and moving.
What to do with old, busted amps (they could undoubtedly be repaired)?
The dump? Seems a shame - I'm sure they could be repaired.
Local Freecycle? Hmmm, could try that, but is anyone going to want a broken amp - and they are darned heavy. Not much fun to "chance your arm"!
Find another amp repairer. Yeah, should try that. Will do that in a minute.
Blog about it. Sounds good (so unlike a busted amp), and it made me feel better.
Cheers.
