Re: Wanted: EII front panel label

No, bro. I am just playing with you.  I don't know Alan personally.  But it's an unlikely story about your case being owned by Alan Wilder.  :]

God's honest truth though, my power supply says checked by DM with a Sharpie magic marker.  I can take a picture of it and post it.  But I think it's the technician's initials.  His name could have been Dirk Martin, or David Martinez, or Dan Mitchel, or a million other name combinations.  But I am not assuming it's in any relation to Depeche Mode...  Come on now.  Silly.

I purchased this EII shell some years ago (for a steal), and the seller (not knowing at all that I was into that depeche mode thing) told that it belonged to a studio that once lent it to Depeche, when one of their EIIs failed on tour. IF this is really true? - I don't know. Maybe you could ask him again about this - perhaps he can recall... That should have been in Germany by the way...
