Stooges

Mr. Fixer. My wife and I will think of you when we go see the new 3 Stooges movie. Hope you are recovering well. Please see the post about dad dying (Nova72ss).
 
Mark, I am really sorry to hear you are going through all this. We are all pulling for a speedy recovery for you. Even though it seems like forever, soon enough this will be behind you and you will be mobile again.
 
How's it going? Of course, I'm hoping for all the best for you, Mark! We're expecting more wet weather here in the Northwest. Listening to some Charlie Musselwhite... the man paid some dues. Have a good one buddy!

Someone should get Mark some test eq up there. God knows how long it's been since that stuff that keeps him going has been calibrated!!

Just good to see that avitar again :banana:.

You'll know you are better when you do start giving the nurses a hard time. It's ok, they expect it and are trained to cope, so let rip buddy.

All the best from down under.

I hope you have De-ox'ed all the gear there. Those pots could be dirty....
 
Good Call laatch55. Mark could probably give the Electrical Engineering Dept. some pointers. Great Occupational Therapy. (We're not pushing you Mark, take your time!)

Can you see MTF sitting on the side of his bed, with a Soldering iron in one hand, the Service manual in the other, and cussing the SOB's that designed the gear he's working on!!

Ventilator......$50,000 (used).
Calibration per unit, per year.....$500.00
Having a patient that can repair and calibrate them better than the Factory Tech, and cheaper to boot? ............PRICELESS!

My 1010 is still on and will be until Mark recovers and is home.

Wow! Talk about being out of touch. I had no idea you were ill, Mark. I am glad that you are one the road to recovery. God's blessings upon you.

I haven't had any direct interaction with you, Mark, but I have spent a lot of time reading your posts. You are one of the touchstones of this website and a very valued member.

Keep getting better!!!

Hey Brother - I just want to say thank you so much for your tireless efforts, for giving and giving and giving some more. You have helped so many see the light and understand what once seemed impossible, and brought so many people the sheer joy of bringing a broken piece of equipment back to life to sing once more. That's a great feeling, Mark, and you have brought that feeling to more people than you'll ever know. Your insightful and well researched threads and advice here on AK reflect the kind and generous person you are. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us. Please, please take care of yourself, rest up and get well.

No need to apologize. I think everyone understands what's important, and that is your health. I'm glad to read of the improvements, incremental though they be, and look forward to reading of a complete recovery.
 
Following closely and letting you know that we are all still thinking of you daily and of course bedtime. Keep us informed when you got it in ya.
 
Heya Mark - just thinkin' about ya, so I thought I'd send some good energy your way!

-From a not-so-secret admirer!! :D
 
Hello Mark,

May you have a good week.

May the food be good and the nurses be cute!

All the best to you!
 
Hi Mark. Can't begin to walk in your shoes but have come close. My best thoughts and wishes to you....I can only offer prayers and wishes for a good recovery. Sincerely, I hope your rehab stint is fruitfull and you get home soon! Real soon. Many thanks.

Hey Mark,

Glad to see you're back on-line, and able to keep us updated with your progress.

I just found an original Pioneer SX-580 schematic, do you think your hospital would allow you to frame it and use it as wall art? It might make you feel more at home.

All the best mate,

Lee.
 
Hang in there, our friend. I trust you are using your "AK loaner" machine to research your condition, symptoms, and resolution. Knowledge is a powerful tool, and your most important repair project right now is you. All those other things can slide to the back of the bench until that primary unit is dialed-in and aligned.
