Well, can you believe another year has almost passed! With it has come some trials and tribulations. While it has been great to see the Covid-19 pandemic somewhat in abeyance, seeing live gigs return in abundance which meant we got to see some great bands and shows! I know I did!
Sadly, just as we were breathing a sigh of relief from Covid, along came Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which certainly set the cat among the pigeons in many areas, high fuel prices, inflation, not to mention shortages of different items.
Which brings me to the point of this blog; the delays in supply of electronics items is causing my turnaround times to blow out to in some cases, six to eight weeks. Tubes especially, are hard to come by, and regrettably, brands like Tung-Sol, Sovtek and other Russian tubes have just about dried up. I can still source JJ Electronics, Tube Amp Doctor, Electro-
Harmonix, Fender and so on, just takes a bit longer to get them. I appreciate your patience in this; I know the wait can be super-frustrating!
I still offer a pickup/delivery service, and due to our "wonderful" fuel prices, I now have to charge a fee for this service.
This fee varies with the area I'm picking up/delivering to, I will advise when making the arrangements.
I will remain open during the holiday break, so I'm around for those necessary repairs/restorations so don't hesitate to use my form to book!
I wish you all a happy holiday season, and may 2023 rock!
