I will not be able to make the event due to previous committments. (Annual Air Force Reunion in Ohio already booked and paid for). While I am not overjoyed about Ohio, the reunion is similar to AK gathering with a bunch of great people.
I would like to contribute the following:
If anyone buys one of Franks units that may need service and is in the NYC metro area, I will service the unit for free provided the person makes a donation to the "Frank Fund". I will leave the donation price open hoping the person will be generous. I specialize in Vintage solid state (Receivers, Amps, Reel to Reels, Cassette decks, Integrated amps, preamps, equalizers etc. I will not charge for any parts provided that the unit can be serviced within reason. A number of AK'ers have received the benefit of my technical skills and can attest to my capabilities.
