Thanks Ken for the great service. The check was mailed today.

Ken, I sent you an e-mail, hoping to secure chips for my ProFex II and TubeFex (and ProFex II foot controller?)

Posted: **14 Sep 2006 4:48 am**

Thanks Steve, Marlan and Delivin! Brint, email sent. No battery in the foot-ontroller.

At this time there are 33 ZMD chips left that are not reserved.

Ken why all of this after market upgrade, can't the units come with a better quality of components?

The batterly-less memory is a newer technology, not availabe when these units were built.

The Burr Brown chips were likely not available at the time. If they were, I am sure that it was a cost measure. I fell certain no one else was likely using the Burr Brown chips in a comparible unit. Competetion often dicates design considerations!

Ken, Sent you an email to reserve two for my Tubfex units. Thanks.

Thanks, John.

That leaves only 19 of the ZMD chips left.

Ken,
Do you have any chips left for the
Profex 2? If so please save me one.

Thanks,
Bill Bearley

I have just a few left at this time. I am now testing a chip from Simtek that appears to be working great in a Profex 2 that I have in the shop! More on that later, I want to try it in a Transtubefex or Tubefex first.

Thanks to John Fera at Peavey for the info on that chip. I have located 70 thru a vendor I use for the Burr Brown chips. The Burr Brown chips seem to be getting just as hard to find. Digikey, Mouser and all the distributors I could find a while back were out.

I am hoping to have enough stock for Dallas next year!

I have 6 of the ZMD chips left as of this morning.

Posted: **29 Sep 2006 8:19 am**

All the ZMD chips are pre-sold!

I have 70 of the Simtek chips in now! They are working great in the Profex 2 I have on the bench. I have been testing it for weeks and it seems to be the same chip!

Ken,
I am now the proud owner of a battery-less Profex 11. Everything went just like you said it would. Thanks for all your help.

A photo of battery leakage, Go this one in today, looked like a new unit outside, but inside!!!

Ken does a great job on the Profex II's. Mine never sounded better, especially the lower bass tones.
Thanks Ken.
