Back From The Sixties
Unfortunately Chris has decided to close his highly informative website down, due to the commitment required to keep it updated.
Chris many people including me are sorry you had to make this decision, but I do know the effort involved in running such a site. I will leave the link up in the hope that you may rethink the situation and make a lot of people happy again. : )
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!

And a very very very very rare echo unit indeed !!
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, (you wouldn't think it if you saw what's left of my hair) 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. For all your GHD enquiries click the link below.
