R.G. Keen - MIA?

Post by Saransk »

Does anyone have a current email and/or other contact information for "Big Kahuna" of Thomas Vox amplifies - R.G. Keen
His website for publications and parts, especially his redesigned circuit boards, http://www.thomas-vox-repair.com/ , is closed and there seems to be no current contact information on Geofex.
The email I had in my Contacts doesn't seem to be active any longer either.
I have a Berkeley III and a chance for a "husk" Beatle but need to purchase the rebuild boards if possible.

Thanks
Michael

He frequently posts here on the forums as R.G. There are also plenty of others here with good knowledge of the Vox line... maybe post what you need help with? (or just the boards?)

So far no luck in either getting in touch with R.G. or finding a set of replacement boards he designed
While it is possible to rebuild the original boards, it is one of the more painful exercises in self-inflicted pain I've experienced
I never could have resurrected either one of the Berkeley 3 amps I've worked one without the rebuild boards

Odd I've seen him post here in the forums several times since this post... It's entirely possible he's stopped making these boards and therefore is not responding because he can't help?

Sorry.

R.G. posted in the Tech Discussion forum today, so he hasn’t disappeared or anything.
