Armstrong 626 nenewal!

I've just been going though the process of having one of my old Armstrong
626 recievers serviced/modified by Mike Solomons of London Sound. I
actually sent him both the examples I owned and he then worked on the one
judged the 'best' for service and improvement.

I understand from the courier 'tracking' that it should arrive soon. All
being well, it is promised today. So I have the relevant home-made
adaptors, etc, and eagery await delivery so I can give it a go. :-)

Feel anxious in case the carriers manage to damage it on the last leg of
its trip away from me.

OK, the 626 - even with mods - isn't the technical peak of audio
perfection. But they do look nice and can sound good. Still feel it is a
shame no-one makes anything that looks like them today. But no doubt they'd
fail all the modern 'elf and safty' rules. Wooden lid that is easily
removed without tools. Plastic tray lower section, similar. etc.

Fingers crossed.

Jim
