Nyteschayde, how'd the meeting go? Am in the North Bay, and stumbled on this when looking for someone locally to replace the caps in my A1200!

Never actually made it out there. :( I still have the same issue and I'd love to find someone to do a recapping for my Amigas as well. Maybe I'll try to get out to the next meeting if there is one.


Thanks to the link in RobertB's signature, I dropped Randall Abel an email, asking him about the club, if random new people were okay to stop by, and also mentioned the issue I was having with the caps. Seemed like a nice guy, told me it was absolutely fine to come along to the next meeting, to bring the A1200 along if I wanted, and repeated what Robert said, that their tech Duncan may be able/willing to take care of the cap problem. Obviously, don't want to throw the guy under the bus and say he'll take care of it, but there's a meeting this Saturday down in San Jose at Mountain Mike's pizza, that I think I'll head down to.

Kolla, if you were here and able to replace my caps, then I would have given you far better beer than you had at beer week. (I'm a brewer!)

Thanks for all the info, Robert... wasn't able to make it down yesterday, the faucet in our kitchen finally lost the plot that morning, so had to make an impromptu run to Home Depot and replace the bloody thing. (For anyone who hasn't replaced their kitchen tap, getting the old one out is 99.99% of the job, grrrr...) but hopefully the next one.
