| 427697 | 2006-02-08 02:02:00 | Another young one who doesn't remember David J Reid Electronics, once one of the major electronics distributors in NZ. :( Hmm, now that you've given the extra info, it rings a bell GL, were they still going in the 80's, did Tricky Dicky's have something to do with them? |

| 427698 | 2006-02-08 02:21:00 | No ... he was retail (though Dick became the NZ agents for National Semiconductor) , DJR were always wholesalers. I'm not sure when they faded. They might still be in business, just not in Christchurch. They were still here well into the 80s. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 427699 | 2006-02-08 04:00:00 | Ok. So, did they do good speakers :D |

| 427700 | 2006-02-08 04:08:00 | ... Plessey speakers were previously branded Rola, then Plessey-Rola. They were definitely not known as a manufacturer of quality speakers. ... DJR's speakers were locally assembled. I have no reason to believe they were any better than Plessey's. :D Did you miss my "Real mellow tone" remark? | Graham L (2) | ||

| 427702 | 2006-02-08 04:57:00 | David Reid have a shop in Sydney, can only assume it's the same outfit. Full of "interesting" stuff, some real cheap bargains at times. Just along from DSE and Jaycar on York St, in the CBD. I bought my first "PC" from David Reid in Christchurch ~ 1980. A Sinclair ZX80 |

| 427703 | 2006-02-08 05:11:00 | Once upon a time there was David J Reid Electronics. Then DSE turned up, and took over DJR... (From PMB's site (pmb.co.nz) So probably not the same company, GF. Might be the same David Reid? But it's not an uncommon name ... Google knows a few. |

| 427706 | 2006-02-08 05:54:00 | The technical term is "digression". :D Always much more interesting than rotten old technical questions. Perhaps being used has shaken the dust (and other non-magnetic) crud out of the coil-magnet gap. That would change the sound. Also you're probably reforming the electrolytic capacitors in the amplifier. Anyway, I'm off home for tea. You should get it fixed tonight. :thumbs: |
