I agree. I recently bought an awesome vintage amp soley with ribbon13's help, and he's been extremely helping with helping me match parts and upgrades to it and giving me information on how to do different procedures like mod the connectors and clean the pots. He knows what he's talking about and knows the market, where to find good deals, and what to look for. He's a nice guy and very generous with his knowledge and time.

ribbon13, thanks for all your help man, keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

I'm expecting my SCA-80Q today.

I'm glad he turned me on to vintage audio.

:beer::bong;

I'm actually the one that tossed him the link for the one he recommended to you. I've been watching Dynaco equipment like a hawk for the last few weeks.

I do give her credit. :beer:

On a side not, I guarantee that this thread is going to get locked.

Thank you! But you're wrong on count #2 so far.

nice! dude, this thing is awesome! I've been listening to Billy Joel on it today (computer -> amp -> speakers). So much power...it kills my Sherwood and makes the speakers sound a lot better (yay for good bass/treble controls). I'm planning on adding new RCAs on the back and replacing the wire screws with banana jacks later this month. I didn't even know what a Dynaco was until I talked to ribbon13!

Same here.

And it indeed does rock!

I got one about a month ago. It was advertised as in perfect condition, having just been gone through by a tech. Well, that wasn't the case.. so I sent it back. I miss it so much.. It sounded sooo nice.

I was going to get a Stereo 120, and then later a PAS preamp ... but I found an awesome deal on an SCA-80Q.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...5764936298&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Buy It Now price of $89.00 includes FedEx ground shipping within continental US.

Plus, I got 10$ off using the PayPal buyer credit deal.

/gloat



Now the remaining PayPal BuyerCredit is tempting me to buy a Stereo 70 to restore......

also you have 5000+ posts in under 2 months... wow.

but honestly dude where the hell do you find the time to do it? or are there multiple ppl using his account do you think?

I think that the Borg has sent back one of their kind, to the year 2005, to post to the pinnacle of hardware website messageboards, AT, in order to learn more about the human race's technology, in order to ensure complete domination of the multi-verse when the time is right.

Am I close?

You are so wrong. Ribbon13 is obviously some sort of SkyNet beta-test.

 

Id like to know who he/she was before he/she was banned..... You dont just come out of nowhere posting 80ppd....

 

[no0b]

So did ribbon13 really make and sell drugs?

Don't ask about his personal life, it's soooo fvcked up!

 

[sharkeeper]

Banned, keeps coming back and gets banned.

Reminds me of those candles that re-ignite if blown out. LOL

 

[BrokenVisage]

Why was ribbon banned, did I miss something?

Banned the first or second time?

Why was ribbon13 banned?

He would like to know.

The notation in his profile states "constant posts about making cocaine, E, etc including pics of the process"

Because of his posts regarding drugs.

He didn't even get any sort of warning.

Something that weirds me out about that post is that they apparently keep profiles on us?

I wonder what mine says.. :laugh:

 

[GoingUp]

76 PPD! :Q

 

[Eli]

I PMed and asked the mods how long he was banned for, but I got no response.

I don't think this treatment is very fair. So he has a high post count? Most of them were helpful. So he posted about drugs? Warn him not to do it again.

I would have said something to him, but nobody seemed to care, and he wasn't getting any warnings. Not fair.

Will it go down even though hes banned? Would be ashame, or something like that.

 

[imported_Lucifer]

I too, would want him unbanned. I see his posts in General Hardware, and has helped a lot.
