They don't have any techs there, a direct quote.  When I first called 
they weren't even interested in putting in the synthesizer as I didn'
t have a clue where it went.  Once I told them who I was as they know 
me, they said they'd put in the board.  The ham who usually helped me do 
this stuff moved away 3 years ago, so don't know who I'll get to help.
