Hi Folks

[grovel]
Here is a post in desparation. I have already e-mailed Queen Eileen and assume the lack of response means the old stuff isn't supported any more - which is fair enough - I'm not complaining here.

Ten years ago I started an original Foreplay. Finished the case and got the base plate anodised gold. Disruptions in my personal life left it consigned to the attic from where I have just uncovered it. I have the complete kit (I think) along with the C4S upgrade and the stepped attenuator kit. The instructions for the upgrades are present but the construction manual for the amp is missing.

Is there anyone out there can sell/lend/etc. me a copy of the build manual for an original Foreplay, please? Many thanks in advance.

Much more likely that your mail got tripped up by her spam filter or she has just been working her way through a large bunch of correspondence. Honestly I'm even not sure if we still have that manual in our archive at the new office, but we'll take a look. It would certainly be fine with me if Grainger wants to send you a scan in the meantime.

I'll get some scanning done tonight.  I'm in need of shopping today.  I'm in trouble...

No manual found and you have a PM.

Hi Fred, I checked my e-mail and couldn't find it. I'd be happy to send you the manual but I'll need to get your information. You can e-mail me at: q u e e n @ b o t t l e h e a d . c o m (remove the spaces) or call at: 206-451-4275.
Best Regards,
Eileen
