Hi list,
this list is mainly about the drums, not copyrights. And I too know
about the hassle of finding old schematics. I try to get schematic for
all machines I own 'cause sooner or later I need them. But I rarely sell
(unless some moron offer me a lot of cash for a schematic without asking
to get it for free first :) It has happened).
Anyway, I share if I'm met in a friendly manner and I have stuff in
digital form. I don't if it's the opposite or if I get the feeling that
the guy at the other end is just there to exploit it. I gladly trade for
other stuff I need - this is best for both parties.
To answer your Q: If Fabio asked you to keep it to yourself. Please do.
If he said he was glad to share - be glad to share. That's basically how
I see things.
What we don't need on this mostly friendly list is harrassment and
ignorance.
To sum it up - I have very few schematics for Simmons gear, and all I
have I think is already online. If not - please ask.
keep banging those hexaheads!
