Got my ART SGX2000 fixed

[Hardrock69]

ART no longer supports these AT ALL. They not even carry any parts for them any more.

So anyway, I found a guy in West Virginia who works on these things. I got my unit back today and it fucking rocks!!!

The backlight on the LCD screen was burned out.

For 100 bucks plus shipping, he replaced the LCD. The green background is now brighter than the original.

He upgraded the software from v1.05 to v1.10 (the most recent....1994 haha), and he put a brand new Sovtek 12AX7 tube in it.

I am impressed.

Here are a couple of fotos:

If anyone here needs work done on stuff like this, just PM me and I will let you have his email addy.

His prices are reasonable, it was really fast turnaround, and my experience with him was cool.

And on the subjet of ART gear, I just snagged an ART NightBass for 100 bucks on eBay.

Woot!

Right on.......

I have an old ZOOM unit I'd love to have working again..............

I'll have to go donate blood first though!

[Hardrock69]

LOL!

Yeah I do not think this guy would accept blood as payment....better to have cash..

[Matt White]

LOL

I remember a friend back in college having a ART rack.....


Very cool.......

I remember their ads being everywhere for a while.....................

[Hardrock69]

They are still in business.

I dig my SGX. And am looking forward to checking out the Nightbass unit once I get it.

lovin the pickguards, u aint a newcastle united fan by any chance

[Hardrock69]

Nah....living in the US I almost never hear of them anyway. Though I did wear an umpire's shirt back in the day when performing on stage...

I decided on using that as my personal motif back in 1979.

Long before Stryper ever came out...and before Quiet Riot got big.

Just thought it looked cool.

These are my number 1 (Flying V) and number 2 (JB Player neck-thru-body Strat) sons...

cool bump i'm the proud owner of a '91 digitech gsp 21 pro. it's been upgraded twice, had a new led in the footswitch and a new memory battery. i bought it new, sold it to a mate, and bought it back again. the fucking thing refuses to die or go away, it's part of the family, and at the time of this writing still sounds fantastic.
