Since being back at work (officially), I’ve had one or two orders come in. Some of these are complete but unfortunately, everything that uses Vigortronix AC/DC converters won’t be going out for another couple of weeks as I’m desperately waiting for an order to come in. The good news however, is that I'm back with a busy May 2026!
At the back are seven Aurora replacement power supplies for the MKS-80, only one of which is fully built. The red Supernova replacement power supply for the Roland Juno-106 is also waiting converters.
All of the five P0004 replacement power supplies for the JX-10 and MKS-70 (left, front) are now built and have also been tested. These should be shipped in the next few days. The same with the two black Galaxy replacement power supplies for the Behinger DEQ2496.
Also pictured are two Nebula balanced outputs for the Roland MKS-70 and my first two orders for Nebula-X balanced outputs for the Roland JX-10 (front, centre-right), one of which needs a Molex connector which arrived a few minutes ago.
To the right of them are three FSR Aftertouch Interface (FAI) PCBs, one for the Roland D-50, one for the Roland JX-8P, one for the Roland JX-10. I’ll be building the sensors for those over the weekend.
At the back towards the right, is my first Gary 7 sale. Gary 7 is a MIDI patch change to Simmons SDS7 kit change converter which was one of my Christmas 2025 projects, the other being Nebula-X.
Pictured above is my 2026 batch of PML-TX01 replacement transformers for the Marshall JMP-1. Some will recall the issues I had with last year's shipment. ParcelForce just couldn't get it right and the delivery was months late.
This time around, the transformers arrived much quicker as the factory kindly decided to use a different courier, one which doesn't use ParcelForce on the home (UK) leg.
As if that's not enough... While building all that stuff, I’ve also managed to catch up with ALL the repairs that came in prior to my operation and have been accepting repairs for the past few weeks.
❤️ On a personal note... I'm back with a busy May 2026 and it feels great getting stuck back into things. People have been just so fantastic and THANK YOU for all the lovely emails and messages. I'm feeling fine although I still have a couple of appointments coming up, just to make sure all's well. I've been told that full recovery might be between eighteen and twenty-four months but seriously, I'm very almost back to how I felt before the op.
I'm sorry about the supply problems and don't blame people for kind of thinking "if it's not one thing, it's another". All I can promise those who are waiting for my power supplies that use Vigortronix converters is that as soon as they turn up, I'll be working full on to get your orders out. As can be seen in the title image, all power supplies have been built. I just need those frigin' converters, 😡
