Reputable AV Refurb suppliers

Several years ago our local community center was destroyed by an arsonist in the middle of the night. Being a small, unincorporated area, this hit us hard. It's been 3-1/2 years and we're finally breaking ground to build a new center using local volunteer talent. I'm working on the AV design and would like to ask if anyone can recommend good sources for refurbished AV equipment such as projectors, speakers, audio DSPs, etc. We're fundraising to build it and any lead would be most appreciated. Thanks!

(P.S. the arsonist was caught and was incarcerated, but we're left with the aftermath).

Smooth Shifting

My 245 had been experiencing rather poor shifting with the automatic transmission trying to decide whether to shift into high gear or not. The situation hit a peak when it got stuck in low gear out on a remote mountain road. Thanks to FCP Euro, I was able to get the kickdown cable, Volvo OEM transmission oil and OEM gasket. And an extra shout out to them for shipping the gasket Fed Ex overnight after Ontrac failed to deliver it. With the new oil and cable, the transmission shifts like velvet. 😄

Kickdown cable replacement

The kickdown cable on the automatic transmission for my '89 is starting to seize and needs replacement. I'm taking it in for service in a couple of weeks. The service manual says that the pan must be dropped, which means transmission oil and gasket change. Is there a preferred gasket kit that is trustworthy?
