[QUOTE="Timo Ulkuniemi, post: 117648, member: 1978"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A HELLO Some 30 years ago I was working in a music store in Bloomington MN - I needed ( actually wanted...) schematics for MXR stompboxes - so I called them - someone, who´s name I´ve forgotten was laughing on phone saying "Of course we will send them to you.." - I thought he was pulling my leg - surely enough, few days later I had an envelope with schematics of just about every box they ever produced. At same time I was calling Weller soldering-station company to get 110V x-former for my 220V unit - they refused, because I might do something and they could be responsible for consequensies... I have allways thought, that all those warning stickers in american products are a bad joke, but when the man with expensive suit hands the paper it is not - lawyers prohibit just about anything they can to make money... Remember that woman who put steaming cup of coffee between her legs - pulled away in her car - later sued McDonalds that her crotch fried - Fried McPussy - if I remember correct she got paid very well ... I telephoned Bose USA years ago ( very expensive those days from Finland ) to get some replacement diapfragm - they refused, because "It is our company policy." - I can think - if they send me the part and I screw it in and screw it and blame them ( which I would NOT do - how could they ever tell...) - they are better off not selling any parts. Story ended better than well - I found replacement woofer, that was about 8dB more sensitive and had 6dB more power handling and fit the cabinet without modification - customer paid the bill ( less than just original replacement element ) and the thing is still rocking in some corner today... Perhaps circumstances today have evolved to point, that companies are better off just leaving old things be than try to give info. Hope they all could use someone to "leak all outdated info" into internet and simply play innocent..... [/QUOTE]
