What a magic day it is, when you get home from a hard day at the panel shop,and there it is! Sitting in your loungeroom, still boxed,just waiting for you to unpack it,.....YES!!!!!
My 2005 Fireglo 360/6 has landed in Oz!
And it is a RIPPA!!!!

Howard & Greg,

Great news about your 360 Greg. How does it play? Are you happy with it?

You guys better put the beer in the fridge ready for the Melbourne Confluence. I'm currently in New Jersey wallowing in the euphoria which can only be experienced when you open six vintage Rickenbacker cases! To finally hold and caress my babies after staring at photos for so long has been a truly wonderful experience. Now I just have to get them all on board the plane and through Aussie customs!

Oh, and Pick of the Ricks is just down the road. Howard...I have your vintage knobs and a whole stack of other tasty spare parts. Chris is one top bloke!

I'm looking forward to posting some photos when I return back to Melbourne.

Hi Darren. I was hoping we might hear from you during your stay in "Joisey"!! Hope you're having a great time (and Jeremy too, of course!).

Thanks for the knobs, mate. I owe you one!! Looking forward to the pics and the Confluence...

Cheers

Hey Darren& Howard,
The 360 plays fine, as my time alone alone with it is extremely limited,("Ringo" and his brother),what i've heard with it is fantastic!
The original owner tells me she purchased it brand new in July for her son.He is in a heavy metal band, so wasn't exactly thrilled with his parents generosity....so,it headed to ebay!It definitely needs "toasters",but i'll live with what i've got for now!
Hope you're having a great time Darren,i meant to ring you before you left to wish you a safe trip, sorry about that!By the way, my fridge is well stocked!!!!
Catch you soon Howard.

Look forward to it, Greg! Tell the kids to cut you a little slack - this is a very important time in your life..............

Howard,

Were you after a set of vintage black knobs (without the chrome inserts) or cookers? I've picked up a set of black knobs, however I'm going back to POTR before I go and can grab some cookers if necessary. Let me know mate.

Vintage black without the inserts, Darren. I was thinking about the others........... but nah!!

When do you get back, BTW?

Aitch,

I'm back Sunday morning Aussie time and I'm not back at work until Wednesday week. I'll talk to you once I'm home. Cheers mate!
