Hi all,
Just a heads up for Valve Amp owners in the Waikato area.
I have moved away from all the traffic jams and set up my Repair Workshop in Paeroa.
Still setting up and things are a bit of a mess, but I have done a couple of repairs already.

Looks a lot tidier than Howick did! Have you got Andrew's Soldano yet?

Not yet.
There are a few people in the wings with Amps to Doctor.

Ah the hourly rate sign, very good.

You know in the long distant past I was a mechanic. Customer would say "It can't be this thing, I already worked on that"
Well that'd be the first thing I'd check over. Always ask; where have the humans been?

That sign is about 20 years old,
Made it when I was doing Car Audio & Alarms for people who wanted to sit in the back seat of their car and watch over my
shoulder, one old guy who thought it acceptable for his small dog trying to lick my face while I was working in the front on the stereo install.

Also little Boom Sound Morons who when given tech advice and access to my work area stole my tools and gear!
Has been an amusement for a long time.

Welcome to the region Alan. Good to have you here.

Nice one. Paeroa been on the up and up over the past decade. Good to see.

Should add Alan to the Directory thread.

I seem to be Feral enough to fit in here.
Always liked Paeroa, Shame the Battle of the Streets has been canned.

Ha yeah battle of the streets was awesome as a youngin. Some good hot rod people around the place also.

A mate grew up in Paeroa, his parents still live there. When the right season he will bring back a big bag of lemons after a family visit, they really are exceptional.

Already done.

Love your sign!

New place sounds great, congrats Alan.

Ha...love it.
If I ever tech in a workshop again, my sign will say: 'Your failure to plan does not equal my emergency'
