Tony, did you miss the toilet paper digression?
I chose to let that one roll out on it's own. [Big Grin]

Randy: So the new craptastic amp is noisy already? Loose neutral my friend, solution to your problems. [thumbsup] [Big Grin] I like your idea of letting it make noise, hopefully it will catch fire or blow out some speakers too.

I feel for you in your situation.....I would have either gone postal or killed someone by now.

Well, I can't work there forever. When I don't work there anymore, hopefully some time soon, I won't be there to do things like diagnose and fix bad amplifiers.

So, if I wasn't there, that amplifier would have been left to its own devices. It would go up in smoke, blow out the speaker or both.

Looking at it realistically, it doesn't matter whether I'm there to stop it or not. Does it?

And that's the saddest part of this whole saga......

Last time I had a job where they didn't give a shit about any efforts to help them or save them money, I quit and started my own company. [Smile]

With your experience perhaps that is something you should look into.

Good point! I was once told "that I had outclassed my customer base!" If so this is a dangerous condition, since you care more than the people who should care, the owners (managers.)

Indeed, I had a log of everything wrong at every booth I serviced that they would not let me repair! Louis
