Production of all assembled AR products has been discontinued at Audioregenesis. However, exclusive rights have now been granted to D. Gillespie Designs to produce the AR product line.
D. Gillespie Designs has been granted exclusive rights to produce AR products going forward. These will not be assembled boards, but bare boards as originally developed at AR, virtually identical to the original, and manufactured to the same exacting detail and quality levels as produced for AR. A BOM will also be provided, allowing the purchaser to then obtain the exact parts required, with parts available from dual sources for completion. Some skill will obviously be required to assemble the boards, but with reasonable attention to detail, the vast majority of solder slingers out there should have no trouble producing a working copy of an original board. While this approach does not offer the AR convenience of fully assembled boards, it does allow for the basic boards to be available once again, such that when populated with parts from the BOM, can result in a very economical and workable solution for most folks.
The ultimate goal is to -- over time -- make available all the audio and EFB power supply boards for the SCA and ST35 amplifiers. Also in the works, are two new universal EFB boards that would have a very small footprint, which will allow the installation of EFB in virtually any vacuum tube amplifier or receiver out there that can benefit from its operation.
When available, boards will be offered and sold at Dave's Store on the Tronola.com website. The first board to be offered will be the SCA35 EFB power supply board. |
