Gave away my DC7 and it was mint ?

[BENDYCAT]

Well like the tittle says I gave away my DC7 !

why and to who i hear you ask

well the guy that swapped me the 777 for old camera gear said he had a mate that was looking for his old childhood box - the DC7.... so as i'm such a nice guy i handed over the box to him - now he was over the moon with it - should be as it was mint, the perspex dial cover and record draw were so clean and not a mark on them - the aerial was clean and straight - every thing works perfect - the speaker sound lush and clean - in fact it was 9.5 /10

But why give away some thing so clean and perfect ?

well it turns out the guy who i gave it to fixes electrical things and works on planes and also fixes any thing electrical like TV, computers, and BOOMBOXES he was the guy to look over the 777 before it came to me - he took it apart and checked every thing was working well !
He loved the DC7 and so we made a deal that he gets the DC7 free and i get a life time of him fixing my boxes

he said just drop of a load of boxes and he would give me a call when they are done and then drop off another load
I'm not going to over load him with them but i figure he can get through my lot over the next couple of years

I saw him working and he gets off on finding out what part is not working and tests it and keeps going till it's done - OCD

so as much as i loved the DC7 i knew i had to give it up to help the other boxes - I don't mind as he was so pleased with the DC7 and you could clearly see that he had the love of it and what it meant, so i knew it was going to a good home - we had a good long chat about things and how things in life should be - a job is to be done well and to it's best ability

so i now have a FIXER to sort out my machines

and my very clean 777H - still yet to take some good pic's outside

cheers B

Bendy, you might miss the DC-7, but you really can't beat a deal like that! Congrats on the GF-777 too. It looks really nice.

Dude you made a great deal . The tech guy support is really important for us. Im makin presents to my tech dude anytime when i have some spare cash. He is not takin money from me, but im feelin bad about that. Im thinkin to save (who knows when tho ) some money and to buy him a new soldering station for "live time" tech support .

sound like a good deal to me because getting boxes professionally services will run into the hundreds of dollars anyway so you might make out better in the long run ,hell i would think about that deal myself ,it would save me a lot of work and money and all my other boxes would be in order .

Hey Bendycat,

It's a fantastic deal. Like you say, nothing nicer than someone getting something they've been after for a long time. I think more and more people are discovering that this kit was built to such a good standard that 25 / 30+ years later it (generally) still works. That GF-777 looks ultra

Cheers
