Well, this is new: open-frame heads with barely any wear on them. This machine had been in storage at Bray Studios for decades, so possibly only saw service for special sound effects on British 1960's sci-fi movies such as "Quatermass" and "X for Unknown".

David Gilmour's 'Helios' vacuum tube fuzz pedal back for servicing - apparently it smells. Should be an easy fix. Now where did I put that can of 'Glade' air freshener…?

I heard Mrs E. chatting away to someone on the phone yesterday. Turns out it was Seal, and he wanted to buy a Leveling Amplifier from us. He also owns a Blackbird, a Tube-Drive and a Tube-Vibe. Why is it always me who's last to know, eh?

Can we fix it? You bet. This Blackbird pedal had beer split in it during a pub gig. Photos show before and after clean-up.
