Hello,
Not much to say really. I live in Cambridgeshire UK and have always enjoyed tinkering and fixing things with varying degrees of success. I enjoy old electronics, especially audio but am at best an enthusiastic amateur

A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:

Hey TopCat,
Read your new member sign up. Happy to see this site for info and repairs.
Per your request this will be my first post.

Also Mixed live sound and was the local crew for several A acts such as Frank Sinatra Etc. Did some traveling with Frank as Audio 3.

Later on I became a Registered Servicer for Yamaha Pro Audio Division and serviced Yamahas Live sound large format Audio consoles. Also traveled for them doing repairs on the east coast.

I have a Fully equipped shop with most test equipment at home here. I'k a Marantz guy and own all Marantz. My system consists of A Model 500 & 3300 & 250 power amps and a model 120 tuner.

I also have a rear channel loaded with a 250 and 3330 which completes the 5.1 surround system. My front channels speakers are 4 Electro Voice Sentry III studio monitor speakers. One on top of the other on each side.

Anyway. Glad to be here looking forward to posting a Problem with my 120 Tuner by Marantz.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, I am Mek (my nickname) from Slovakia and I have been aware of this site for long, but just reading. Now I needed a schematic of my laptop to repair it so I registered. I am keen on electronics for quite a few years and have done many repairs, some of them thanks to this site. I also have a personal web page devoted mostly to electronics. Otherwise I am a programmer (software engineer for a living).
