he did my 2600 as well and it kicks....
congrats...
he kinda yanked me around about my odyssey for months.
i was all ready to drive it to him and drop it off.
he kept pushing it back over and over...
i finally bought a few new sliders from synthfool and put them in myself.
it was a lot easier than i thought, and now i can clean and refurbish the ones i removed, and use them to replace another set of four, and continue until all the linear 100ks are refurbed [and most of the sliders on an odyssey are 100k linear]. if you take them apart carefully they can be cleaned up pretty nicely, though not as smooth as the new ones, they are a lot better than having 30+ years of gunk and dust in them!
i have heard nothing but good things about his work [other than taking forever], but he kinda hosed me by not accepting the work after promising to do so. oh well...

and congrats on the wurly, fritz. i adore those things.
