AZZCardfile V.4 is an invaluable computer filling system where you can add all your addresses and telephone numbers and much much more. If you have ever used, as I have the old Microsoft cardfile program you can copy cards and data from Cardfile to AZZCardfile very easily. My first computer was a second hand Windows 3.1 based machine with cardfile ready loaded. I stored every thing there it was a good little program, I copied it over to my next couple of computers which were Windows 95 then to XP even Vista with no problem and continued using it until my latest computer running Windows 7. When I was horrified to find that my ten years or more of valuable Cardfile stored data was not compatible with Windows 7. I could not access any of it, anything that in the old days would have been recorded in books, was stored in my computer Cardfile. While Googeling without success for a compatibility solution to get the old Cardfile system working on my new computer, I stumbled across AZZCardfile which could be downloaded for a free trial. Having downloaded it and tested free for quite some while, I soon found I was again accessing all my old Cardfile data, and adding fresh data. This program will do everything Cardfile ever did and much much more. To read all about it and download your free trial version just click on the link below. I believe the program also is available for use on Mac computers, but I can't afford one of those!

Back From The Sixties
This an extremely interesting website hosted by Chris Devine, a man with an incredible amount of patience and the skills to resurrect absolute piles of rusted out electronic junk that most people would have just bunged in a skip. On reflection that is probably where most of it came from. Watkins Copicat MKII, Bird Golden Eagle, Vox AC50, Selmer Constellation, etc. From piles of clapped out junk to lovingly restored highly desirable collectors items. With redrawn schematics to die for. Don't take my word for it, have a look for your self, but don't forget to come back, will you!

c1960 Selmer-Truvoice "Echo 400" Tape Echo
Having restored the cosmetics of this echo unit, it is my intention (sometime during my retirement years ha ha) to restore the mechanics and electronics to full working order. I have no schematics or service information on this model, if you have or know someone who has, I would be very grateful if you would contact me, with details etc. Also if you have any publicity, pictures or other photographs it would be great if you would share them with me. Have you ever seen another, used one, know anyone who did use one apart from Bert Weedon, do you have or know anyone who has one ??? Please please let me know. Contact John Beer, details on the contacts page.

A little off course for me, but my wife and daughter are both professional hairdressers, my daughter asked Dad to repair a pair of GHD straightening tongs , which I pulled to bits then decided to send them to someone who knows what they are doing. I have a dislike of big companies as they just replace everything and charge the earth. During my Google search for GHD spares and repairs I came across Kevin Sky of Manchester who turned out to be most helpful in every way, I felt this was I guy I would trust to do a good job and not rip me off. My instinct turned out to be correct, the tongs were back with me by return of post, repaired fully working and at a very reasonable price. Thanks Kevin much appreciated.
