But, credit where credit is due.

"VK", as mentioned by Armando is Vintage King. They were the seller of this particular piece, not us. Vintage King is at the top of my list for high end gear, and that's a totally unsolicited testimonial. I have been involved in many transactions with them, on different levels, and every one went well. These guys are one of the few used gear sellers in the world that I totally trust. A class act.

Now...the real tech brain behind our DMX restorations is Cary Altschuler. Cary is one of the finest techs -- and finest people -- I have ever known. Many people know him from his days at MCI, and then Sony. Cary is a veteran of this biz and he has the stories and chops to prove it. He has toiled for many hours to decode the weirdnesses and tricks of these old AMS's. It was maddening at times, but he hung in there. Thank you so much, Cary.

Below is Cary doing his thing with a DMX. The photo is rather fake, in that he rarely smiles while working on these units! (AMS repairs require Dalai Lama-like patience.)

Oh - by the way - I happened to click on Armando's profile, and just about fell over shen I saw the monster racks in his studio. Not to mention his guitar collection! Now that's a studio to drool over!

I'm not done quite yet. I still want to credit Tess, who's the real "artiste" behind Armando's like new S-DMX. This forum only allows one photo per post, so she'll be next.
