I wanted some of that Hannett mojo, and paid way more than I should. I received it, and it was questionable. I wrote David Kulka — known for his repair and parts for byzantine studio gear, like.. Marshall Time Modulators. He purchased the remains of the estate of Steven St. Croix, including the notoriously impossible to repair MTMs. <br><br>I sent him these shots of the supposed Hannett owned MTM:<br><a href="https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B055qXGF1q3v4s">https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B055qXGF1q3v4s</a> <br><br>He immediately identified this from a series of prototypes / parts machines were sold on eBay to buyer named Chris, in the UK. Chris had printed up Dymo labels to say “Hannett MTM”, etc and resold them with a signed copy of his book as a means of trying to cash in on Martin’s legacy. Sad! <br><br>I shipped it to him, and found one from Hamish Jackson of MJQ. He collected my MTM from Jamie from Britannia Row Studios, and claims it was used on Pink Floyd, and who knows what else. Coil, New Order, Section 25, and Joy Division recorded there, which was ok by me.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Fuck that Chris Hewitt guy. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Todd<br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>On Nov 22, 2020, at 8:58 PM, Benjamin Tremblay via Synth-diy <synth-diy@synth-diy.org> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>I scored a 2700 at a flea market.
