Markay Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Enjoy, Avenue Jean Aicard looks like a brisk 10 to 15 min stroll from where we stay in the 3rd.

Markyboard Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Another meet up just outside Dusseldorf with Heinz Weierhorst today - builder of replacement power supplies for vintage synths and another extraordinary repair tech. Over several hours Heinz shared a whole lot of tech and such that almost all here would find boring, so I'll spare details. TBH some of it was over my head but suffice it to say he knows a whole lot of sh*t. And sorry, no pics this time as we met in a public place. I did ask Heinz at one point about his parts source and he shared this with me: Electric Druid This attempts to summarize who's doing what with CEM and SSM chip re-issues. Pretty cool for those into vintage synths and continuation of potential future re-issue synths. Once again a very open, warm and chatty encounter with an extraordinary knowledgeable tech/engineer. This place is alright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I bookmarked this Dusseldorf connection I didn´t know before just in case I might need a new PSU for my Oberheim Xpander. Thank you very much ! A.C.

Would have loved to see that. Must be a fun band to play in! Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reezekeys Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yes it's big fun! When I was young I fantasized about playing in a similar band while playing bass along to their records! It's been a great run so far. I'm in the UK next month as well, anyone reading this thread that wants to hit me up for a guest pass is welcome though I can't guarantee things.

Markyboard Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Spent a wonderful afternoon with Rudy and his girlfriend in Groningen. Rudy played host to us tourists from America, showing us around the beautiful city and sharing a few hours of life in the Netherlands. Of course this included great food and fine beer. Uploading pics is challenging in these far off lands, but I did manage a couple: http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t490/Markyboard/IMG_4591_zps7gaya6rt.jpg Rudy and Marloes http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t490/Markyboard/IMG_4589_zpsuwgsakas.jpg Thanks again Rudy!

Resolved all international beer disputes and so the world is safe for a while. Great discussions on life in Paris and also ate some of the best pizza I've ever had- and that's coming from a New Yorker http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t490/Markyboard/IMG_4809_zpsoa6kjxdc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
