Well, some months down the line, you may if you've read this far, be wondering if it was all worth it? Does the amp work OK now?

Despite my doubts that I'd ever see them, a replacement set of shiny, straight mounting screws turned up in the post this morning. I guess if I ever have cause to take the chassis out of the case again I could use them to reassemble it.

Anyway, seems like a polite thank-you to Bruce is in order.

While it seems appropriate to have the BBB close the case, I couldn't just sign it off without some commentary on Mr Zinky's claims, so the pro-forma reply was less pro-forma.

And yet even after all this, there is more to relate in part 76!

Well, waddya know? A couple of days after their previous message, word comes that B Zinky has finally responded.

On 19 February I exchanged emails with the BBB to the effect that:

• They informed me that BZ had not replied to their original communication.
• I informed them I had sorted the amp out enough not to consider claiming for the damage.

Yes, this post is all about bending, although no parallels between BZ and a certain Futurama character apply.

I hooked the amp up to the original speakers and reverb pan in the original case and turned on the video camera and the Superfly, in that order.

Bruce's reply was factually helpful, although there was no extra set of mounting screws in the packaging, like there was no reverb pan.

On the evening of 9 February, the delivery was made - a day earlier than expected but I wasn't able to unpack it until a day later anyway. So the following evening I set up my camera to record the moment for posterity and opened it up.
