Title: David Allen sells business
Post by: mresistor on May 04, 2022, 09:44:26 am
Just thought you all would like to know that David has sold his business and is retiring I guess.   I suppose that might mean no more custom transformers. 
I wish him well in his new endeavors..

My first tube amp purchase was from David back in 2003. Bought a PT and e-caps to restore my 5F10 Harvard. That was 19 years ago! A lot of us are reaching the point to step aside.   :sad:

They will probably have to come drag my cold lifeless body out of my shop and then I would be retired
The packages for that day would still get shipped  :l2:

I bailed from the corporate world in 2019.

I read somewhere, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

In that case, retirement is the job I was born to do.   :l2:

I was thrown from Corporate world in '14, the nice thing, they were paying me for what I loved, and the transition to retired is even BETTER!
