Hi Dave,

Yes, we have news back from the tech. The Laney, as discussed had a very 
noisy gain channel so needed a couple of new pre-amp valves plus some 
wiring repairs (total repair cost £75). Meaning we can transfer you £125 
for that one today.

The Fender FM65R isn't worth repairing and makes a rather unpleasant 
noise when powering up. We think this is destined for the bin...but will 
leave that decision up to you.

The Twin is still with Tim who is currently working out the best course 
of action. It needs new speakers, valves, handle etc. but we hope is 
still salvageable.

Speak soon,
Phil
