Interviewer: Holy crap, it’s bright in here!
Shop: Yep, Sylvania 5000 Kelvin “Daylight“ tubes, and lots of them. You’ll appreciate it after your eyes adjust and the pain subsides. The super bright lighting is really helpful and less fatiguing, especially for small assemblies and packed circuit boards. Anyway, here’s the first bench.
Interviewer: Wow, what’s with all the Marshall Time Modulators? Are you guys hiding Steven St. Croix in here someplace?
Shop: I wish!. In 2007, about a year after Steve passed away, David and Cholada went out to Baltimore and met with Teresa, his wife. They made a deal to take over sales and service of Time Modulators and Tape Eliminators. There were a bunch of unfinished units in Steve’s house that had been gathering dust for 25 years, and slowly turning them into brand new models. We have all the parts and documentation, and we’re also servicing these models for people. David says it’s his favorite project ever.
Interviewer: Your guys service a lot of older audio gear that other shops won’t even touch.
Shop: Yeah––AMS, Quantec, the Songbird Cyclosnic Panners, EMT 250’s and 251’s – all kinds of great stuff.
Interviewer: How about Publisons? The Infernal Machine and those other models?
Shop: The boss can’t stand that company and he says all Publison models are banned from this place.
Interviewer: I couldn’t agree more! Let’s move on.
