Canada Shipping Resumes

Got word that the Canadian postal strike was ending, so added Canada back to the list of countries we ship to.  We are advised that there is some backlog on shipments to Canada, so delivery may take longer than usual.  So please only order to Canadian addresses if you can be patient.

Temporarily Not Shipping to Canada

Hey buddy, the US Postal Service isn’t accepting packages to Canada right now because of the Canadian postal strike.  So I’ve removed Canada from the list of countries I ship to until postal service resumes.  I might not be informed when it resumes, or I might forget to add Canada back onto the list, so please feel free to contact me if you have any problems ordering after your postal strike is resolved.  Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Today we troubleshoot and repair a LinnDrum with dead Toms and Conga voices. In doing so, I explain how the LinnDrum turns sampled data in the ROM into the audio you hear. We also look at a couple of upgrades I’ve got available that make the LinnDrum easier to service and repair and more enjoyable to play — a replacement 5V power supply board and new sliders!
