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.
