Ehm, I'm not saying it's not the same guy but that isn't a serial number but just a GTIN/EAN-code

Could well be the same and all that, but this unfortunately doesn't prove it.

Thanks for the correction, That motivated me to dig further into my correspondence with Robert-whatever-the-fuck-his-name-is and I dunno how I missed it but thanks to the almighty Outlook servers :
So it's the same number, correct me if I'm wrong: 71788

Yeah this guy's is a gifted swindler it appears... He changed his every detail since 2011 when i and another fellow were stung by his Audiogon ad. But i recognize his voice from the recording, no confusing him. Back then, I did veify with the store he gave me that a Robert Morewood was a client of theirs and they confirmed he bought Stax gear from them.
3 hours ago, Torpedo said:My friend hasn't been able to stop or reverse the transfer, unfortunately Amar's warning was like a couple of days late :(. Nando (my friend) says the guy sounds British, polite and charming, the perfect set for a pro scammer. As soon as I receive all the data he's grabbed from him, not only pics, also a video where his audio system can be seen, I'll be posting it here.
It's going to be reported to the Spanish Police, but they say that for an offense under 3000UKP the British Police will do nothing. Looks like UK has been off the international police affairs as away as has been from the Euro and other european matters. He's looking at UK Police websites to see if there's any chance to involve them into this, and also contacting Ebay, truth is that he tried to close the deal using their check out system, but the scammer's configuration didn't allow it and he trusted to deal directly with him. Maybe he won't get his money back, but it's possible we can stop this weasel to scam more people.
We can set up a meeting in the UK then paying a visit to this guy
I'm sorry for your friend's loss. Maybe if we could combine our cases it would be substantial enough for the the UK police to proceed. I also messaged the other fellow who posted his case back in 2011: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/robert-morewood-c438695.html
I hope he gets an email alert.
I'm in for a the surprise-party notion btw, I'll be there in August-September. It'd be sweet to trackdown this slime.

Yeah he has a nice, clean English accent.

So i'd like to try and spoil his fun for once. Do you have his bank details by chance?

Also anybody see that SR-007 and SRM-717 combo that's on ebay for $1899? Looks kinda suspect since the seller won't accept paypal, but if anybody is in the UK and can check them out in person before buying it looks like a hell of a deal.
It's no wonder he's not accepting paypal, and it's indeed very much relating to being scammed- This is the same scumbag who ripped me off 5 years ago thru Audiogon. The same set, I can confirm by the SN# on the SRE-750 box from a pic he sent me then:
I sent him a partial payment by wire transfer and he vanished, Even talked to him on the phone to convince myself to do it...
Incidentally, I'm heading to the UK soon. I think about filling a claim to local police. I notice the last listing is already closed, I really hope no one got duped again. But if someone can help me by contacting him for feign interest and try toget his bank wire transfer details so i can confirm, i'd very much appreciate it.

^Ditto.

Apologize for slightly OT, Could use a quick advice: I'm looking to replace my screwd-up KGSS PSU board with a mini-PSU, Only question is about the heatsinks for the current source transistors, in my case 2SA1968 are coupled to the same sinks as the power mosfets and I noticed in two varaitions of the boards thus far that use either a smaller single-sided sinks or a single shared double-sided sink. Would these solutions be effective for handling 2SA1968's?
Also, if someone has a spare board I would love to know.
-
Thanks Kevin, I'll try my best to put that info to good use.
-
I understand. and to wrap it up, what adjusted trafo voltage and current output would you suggest?
Anything in particular from Hammond's 1182 series that's the only availablity from Mouser for this matter:
-
Hi Kevin, If i'm not mistake your instruction relates to the new psu, which i do not have. In the original dual-zener psu that i have will changing R1/R3 have the same effect? Or do i need the replace the zeners instead?

Hello,
I got word of this great project thru a friend who mentioned Kevin's remark about it being "HE6 killer" with the 35V rail configuration, So i'd like to attempt it to make my K1000 sing with a zest I never quite heard of them yet...
Unfortunatley i only learned about the alternative, beefier (?) PSU after i had aquired the boards with the orginal PSU. Is it still doable to push to 35v rails with it? I read that entire thread but there's no specific reference about the matter other than Kevin states that the newer PSU can support a balanced configuration.
I'm also not clear wrt to the modification requirements besides the changing of the servo opamp. Moving to 50V electrolytes goes without saying i suppose. anything else? Sorry i'm not very technical minded, please bear with me.

Problem is, as I noted before, I contacted the store that he gave me then, and they'd confirmed his full name as the owner. And given that this name is diefferent from the gas bill your friend got, then all bets are off. He prolly has few more fake ID's lying around.
