Hi,
My Emu Ultra sampler died last night. I'm in mourning, and having a lousy day generally.
Can anyone recommend decent, reliable repair places in London? Have searched de web but didn't find much.
Think it was a power surge that did it...also think it was one that knocked my tr909 for six about a year ago. What do people use for protection for this kinda older gear?
Thanks for any help, it would cheer me up loads.
Think you can get surge protectors quite cheap.
Also, make sure you have the right fuses in your plugs.

The price of samplers has dropped through the floor! Might be almost a replacement job, what's the symptoms?
basically it won't turn on, the fan whirs but no lights come on and you get the impression that no ones home. i bought it second-hand for £300 about six months ago, so yeh will need to check if repair is economical or not, might just be worth getting another one
such a pain all this stuff, seems everytime i make a step forward something breaks / dies / generally goes kaput. maybe someone is trying to tell me something!
yeah, make sure everythings plugged into a surge protector, i use one, its got 6 plugs on it and its also got phone and modem connectors for my pc.
you can pick them up anywhere nowadays
sorry , this may seem a bit mercenary
if you want a replacement emu i have one .
and im skint
