Sergio Silva Where Are You

[HKC]

I have been trying to get in contact with Sergio Silva for a while without any luck. I was very close to buying a set of 12K toasters from him but then he strangely disappeared. Now I am starting to worry if he's alright.
I am one of those mentioned in an earlier thread who would be interested in buying 12K pickups if anybody has some for sale. I have the 7.4K ones which are great (very great) for jangle but I would like a little more punch. I am not interesting in switching since the 7.4Ks will go straight onto my 330 12 string as soon as I get the hotter ones. It's so irritating that Ric didn't just keep the 12Ks in the catalogue but that's also very Ric

I have not seen Sergio post is a couple weeks.

But, if you have 12k higains, convert them to toasters. Remove the bottom magnet, get 1/4" diameter alnico5 rods, pull out the existing pole nails or adjustable bolts, open the holes to 1/4", put in the magnets, install toaster covers available online.

Did you send Sergio a PM or an email. He usually responds in a reasonable amount of time. He's the best when it comes to converting, rewinding or making new pickups IMO.

Never fear, I'm right here! And everything's alright, honest!

My sincere apologies, Henrik. Truth is I did reply to your last PM of many weeks ago, but somehow I made a mistake and sent it to my own PM box!

The bobbins for the 12.0 K have been done for quite some time. I'll PM you in a couple hours.

Many thanks!

But now you're gone again I can't PM you, it stays in my outbox. Is your inbox maybe full. Still very much into getting your 12Ks

All the best
Henrik

I just PM'd you, Henrik, to let you know that the "toasters" are done. I'll check my inbox right now. Best, Sérgio.
