[1000mp] Key clicks and amps

Sun, 7 Jul 2002 11:03:22 -0400

Actually, the jury's still out on this one - I may have lost the screw! When
the amp arrived you have to open the unit to install the transformer which
comes seperately. When I put it all together there was a screw missing and I
wasn't sure whether I'd lost it or it wasn't ever there. In either case,
ACOM sent me a new one to the tune of $15 for overnight delivery.
