Hi Folks, I am well passed the sell by date at 77 but often do some electrical work providing I know what I am doing I was a pro guitar player over 45 years. I repaired all my equipment over the years and made a few circuits. I have just returned to the UK due to health issues. I have made many safe and workable Heath Robinson units over the years. Hope I can have some input in the forum. Regards PhilTheDill

Welcome Phil the Dill.
Aged about 18 ,I'm sure Mr Heath and Robinson
were an important part to keeping project costs down.
More cautious now!

The fact you said “pro guitar player” is going to give you a pass on any dodgy electrics you offer. Everyone else would get a shafting

He may have been in a punk band. none of them could play a single cord, or they were all waiting for the guitar tech to come back from holiday.

Have you come back for free health treatment ?

OR A DECENT DRINK. Not freezing cold like the Aussies like it.

I am not professing for one minute to be a pro electrician but I do know a reasonable amount about electronics...(But still no pro) Here's a laugh for you, In the UK I was lead guitarist for Terry Deans Apache he said he told some muso's I was one of the best pickers in the country in the city Naaaaa Phil

Welcome @Phil The Dill, pro guitar player? Bet you got some stories!

I kept telling the drummer in our band that I was writing a song, every time I saw him until one day he asked what it was called I said "Don't close the door on me Richard, don't slam the door on me Dick.
