Keep going Mark, you'll be dancing a jig in no time flat! :D Glad to here the progress is going well! :thmbsp:
 
Mark, I'm sitting in my living room listening to some records,drinking some scotch and thinking of your remarkable journey. Contgratulations sir on overcoming some hurculean obstacles and staying the course. You show tremendous courage and represent the AudioKarma spirit in spades! Please Please Please (yea I'm listening to James Brown) keep up with the progress reports - God bless.
 
Hi Mark,
Just logged into the forum after quite a while, and just read up on your unfortunate turn of events...however, am glad to see youre well on the road to a full recovery.
Hope to see you back in perfect health shortly. Best wishes for your recovery!
Cheers,
Jacob.
 
Hey Mark,
First, you don't know who I am, but that's okay.

What I want to say: your posts in the Pioneer forum have been incredibly detailed, helpful, and intelligent. I was trying to fix a 9100 integrated, and after searching, a number of your posts on this amp came up. I'm really grateful for the time and effort you've spent posting, helping others out with their troubleshooting, and I wanted you to know that your words continue to help others - like me - even though you may not know it directly.

Hope you are feeling better, and know that even when you're not posting, your great advice continues to help!
 
Glad to hear that you're making progress Mark. Also glad that you are keeping the staff on their toes and questioning the medications. Some of those meds have side effects that really need to be considered a little more carefully, and you are very smart to do so.
 
I havn't called in for a while, but I thought it time to check on you.
Good to hear your up and about and giving the doc's and nurses hell- I hope.

You are the Obe-wan kenobi - NO - the yoda of all things pioneer.
We all miss you and your wisdom.

And I still want to ship a 1980 to you for some work. So you gotta get home soon bloke.
 
Very glad to read about your improvements, Mark. Keep it up! Very smart of you to question the medications, and make the pill-pushers justify them. As your recovery proceeds, make sure to eat a good diet with lots of raw vegetables to speed healing (check for meds interactions on any foods very "medicinal" in nature, like garlic, beetroot, or grapefruit, which may conflict with some meds).

The bit about the oximeter is amusing. Good for you! :thmbsp: So when are you going to be mobile enough to start modding/upgrading their MRI machine? :D

Seriously, it's nice to see you posting again here, even if only occasionally. We all look forward to the day you're fully back to normal, and we hope you'll be back posting here just as before (assuming you still want to).
 
Heck, your waiting list, etc was much longer than this. With what I'll owe you, you'll be able to buy the next cool electronic devices like that cleaner, etc. I forgot the last 1980 paid for that. But this one is different in some ways . To some maybe a technical aspect and to some and that would be right. This one is a first in that right in my eyes also. I know for me it also represents the struggles and trials of men's lives and how it is dealt with because there are no alternatives but to fight back and make this life worth fighting for and others, to some. It is more than special to me for many reasons and lets me know there are answered prayers. God Bless You Mark for showing me this. Your Heart is very giving as we know. I look forward to our next meeting for many reasons, but I know is will be special.
Keep up the fight my friend as I wish to make that drive to Chicago when I get that call from someone special with a special gifts from special people.
P.S., did I tell you I have a dirty old receiver...:D
 
I HAVE the ultrasonic cleaner... :D

I still disassembled all your lever switches and rotary to linear motion switches (ex: cartridge loading) and hand polished the contacts, while the staked closed switches finally got special attention.

The actual rotary wafer switches in other models are the ones I REALLY wanted it for.
 
Had some rig hands drag me bodily to the emergency room the other day as they said I was not my normal onery self. well turns out had a bad case of pneumonia, out in the field and working up to the last minute. The scolding the old frontier Doc gave me would have rivaled any sailors ass chewin. Needless to say we be chillin at the house for quite a few days.
 
Mark,

It was good to hear your voice today despite the circumstances (Virgin billing problems yet again). You sound like you're chafing at the bit to get home and let me know what I can do to help.

As always there is lots of expertise and skill here so please don't forget to call on us.

Your pal.
 
Lee - you take care of that pneumonia, it's nasty chit that can sneak up on ya.

It and I have tangled...

if you cheat on the Dr's orders the only person you are cheating is yourself.

I am REALLY beginning to appreciate lungs....
