Hello loopoids --

When I was under the impression that my Plex was damaged, I sent e-mail 
to Mike Lyon at Gibson inquiring as to repair possibilities.  I recieved 
a reply from him today (Monday).

Since there are at least a few of us on here who have some doubts and
trepidations about Oberheim's present readiness to perform repair work, I
thought I'd forward his message to the list.  (My original message is
contained after his reply.)

Read and ponder,

--Andre

The unit can be brought to 732 Kevin Ct Oakland, CA  94621
510 635-9633.

The unit will have to dropped and left for at least four days.  It will
generally take this long to perform the repair, re calibrate, burn in and
test again.  If the problem is simple it may take a little less time.  If
you give me a explanation of the problems I will be in a better position
to give you a time frame. 

Thanks...................................  Mike

Hello --

I have an Oberheim Echoplex unit which is in need of repair.  As I am
based in the Los Angeles area, I am prepared to take the unit directly to
Oberheim for repair, and to wait in the area while the work is carried out.
 I have unfortunately heard many troubling things regarding customer
relations as far as Echoplex go, so I therefore need to drop the unit off 
in
person rather than send it to an arbitrary location in order to ensure 
that I
am able to get the unit back as soon as possible (or for that matter, get
the unit back period). 

So please tell me who and where I can deliver the unit to.  As I am in a 
rather critical situation with regards to time in this matter, I will  
appreciate
your prompt reply.

Thanks.
