Greetings from Texas.

Hello All! I am a new member (duh, why else would he be posting here...) anyway, good to be here. I am into the restoration of 70s sound equipment and am a fan of Quad. Working here in the Houston area to restore a Pioneer QX-747 (even though when working perfectly it has its flaws..) and getting a Quad setup in place to go with it. Looking forward to learning and contributing. Later - JR

Pleased to meet you! Nice stack 'o gear you have there. Certainly looking forward to hearing how the QX-747 project goes. And the evolution of your quad set up.

I esp like the work bench photo. The AM clock radio adds a nice touch & I have a Heathkit Audio Analyzer that is the same vintage/style of yours on the right side.

There's only a few of us here with an interest in DIY. If you have any cool projects, please share!

Welcome JR!

Nice gear and like Sonik said...keep us posted on the project(s)!

I just got back from Sugar Land / Houston. I gained 10 lbs eating at Papasitos.

Hi and welcome from another Houstonian. Do you have a public shop or work out of your house?

Not from Texas myself, but Idaho seems to consider itself to be Texas north sometimes! Great bench space - I’m jealous of the amount of room, even though I built mine as I thought I wanted it. Please share your bench work with us.

I work out of my house. I do take some paid restoration work but time is limited. I do plan on retiring this year and that will be my hobby of choice.
