As many of you know Dumas sadly closed a while back, this has been a huge loss in the already dying artform of balsa modeling. But I have an idea.

I would like to contact anyone who worked at Dumas and find out if the vacuform bucks could be bought, if anyone can point me towards a contact please let me know.

If not, I may start getting model kits and molding the vacuform components to make new mastermolds to create my own vacuform bucks and make clones of these components.

As for the laser cut components, I could scan them while they're still in the sheets to make some laser cutter files.

Im not promising I will do these ideas for sure as it'd take a lot of time, however the plans and instructions i can easily scan and share here. I will definitely be doing that.

Any interest in repair and calibration tutorial videos?

If you are lucky new old test equipment works just fine when you get it (or at least is broken in a sonically interesting and unique way)

Being as this equipment can be a few decades old they will inevitably need repair and/or calibration.

However that can be expensive to pay to have done, and thats if you can find anyone who knows how to work on antiquated equipment.

I've been documenting repairs that I have been doing in the form of tutorials so i can look back to it if I need to do those repairs again, so if there is any interest in repair tutorials please let me know.

Have you seen my grandma's Peavey T-40?

(Photo for reference)

It was the standard one as shown in this photo.

She and my grandfather bought it new back in the day, my grandfather got the T-60 which I now own, and she got the matching T-40.

Sadly she sold it to a pawn shop in Stoughton Wisconsin in the mid to late 2000s, The pawn shop was called instychash.

She passed away a couple years back due to complications related to covid, so it would mean a lot to not only me, but my mother as well to be able to buy it back.

Im sure this is a long shot as it is probably long gone, but it'd mean the world to us to be reunited with it.

$52 score!

The 'slope db per octave' knob is stuck, probably just needs some solvent to work it loose and some fader grease to keep it loose

Something came in the mail today!

Got it for a pretty good deal, just needs an SRS SR-280 power supply. I will be selling the display module. Possibly the fast sampler too as I don't believe it is of any use to me.
