Title: The Merger
Post by: rake on November 05, 2025, 09:52:01 am
I put this here cuz it doesn't seem to fit elsewhere.
I figured there'd be issues with Antique Electronic Supply and Amplified Parts merging into one site
but my order arrived on time and my account info all moved over to the AP site.
Got the output iron yesterday and the amp went home this morning.
Hopefully now he stops plugging in too many speakers!  :dontknow: :help: :BangHead:

It's all the same company in how it functions. The orders from CE Distribution, Antique Electronic Supply, and Amplified Parts all print on the same printer. Parts get pulled from the same bins by the same handful of people, etc. BITD, AES had a killer catalogue they'd mail to you. AP was started as a sister company when the internet really took off. Now that pretty much everybody is online, it makes sense they'd axe one of them to clean up the paperwork on the business end.
