[Jukebox-list] ami continental sound problem

[Graeme Harvey]

I first made contact with Daniel 2 years ago through this list.   Hundreds 
of emails and photos since he had achieved what he set out to do.    He has 
not only chromed and painted  but has also completely disassembled the mech 
to clean and correctly oil and grease.    Re wired the AC Voltage,  The 
motors had to be disassembled cleaned oiled and new brushes.      Along the 
way numerous faults where found and fixed by him with advise via email. and 
phone.    He has taken on a very major project that others would have walked 
away from.     At times I think he felt that way.   He always bounced back. 
Unfortunately I am 2 and half hours travel from him and have only had time 
to visited once.    Both of us have kept Australian Post busy at times with 
parts going back and forth.     His attention to detail is good to see in 
some one this age.   Any help from the members on the list makes me glad to 
be part of it.
