I live in LA and almost sent my unit to them- I had been having a strange loop degeneration problem and they made quite a few suggestions but certainly did not seem eager to have me bring it in- I was a bit perturbed by their attitude and having seen their shop was slightly concerned- very messy- but now we all know we should not judge books by their covers-they have been in buisness a long time and might be awesome but I have little experience there- I really can't say how competent they are- but they did save my old Tascam Porta One once b/c they had a replacement drive belt in stock! Wheeee! ;)They are located at 12041 Burbank Blvd. N. Hollywood, Ca (818)-506-8742. ==Anyone here use a Tech 21 Midi Mouse? I would like to experiment with midi control of my Jam Man but I don't want to spend much money- Tech makes good stuff and the midi mouse is pretty inexpensive- Cliff -----Original Message----- From: Stan Card [mailto:stanitarium@earthlink.net] Sent: Saturday, November 27, 1999 12:13 AM To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com Subject: Re: EDP Repair Hey, when I needed some work done on my EDP I got ahold of these guys in N.

This was a coupla' years ago and by the way I ended up fixing my unit so I never used them, but they seemed eager to help.Anybody know about these guys?...STANNER ---------- >From: "Doug Lawrence" <douglas-lawrence@home.com> >To: <Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com> >Subject: RE: EDP Repair >Date: Fri, Nov 26, 1999, 4:42 PM > > I've spoken to Mike Ayers on the repair topic several times and he > recommends only two shops for repairs.
