Probably worth bearing in mind that most of the vintage equipment won’t be the gear that JD/NO actually used but recently sourced replicas

Hewitt has been spotted buying up old kit on ebay over the last few months.

It will be vintage but not THE vintage

If that matters to you?

Seriously? What a con if that is true.

Wasn't loads of their actual gear sold on ebay a couple of years back?

For this they could use a cardboard cut out of Hooky and run a record loop of "dunno, can't remember, buy the book"

Not any more as the ebay sales records are only available online for 90 days, but it was discussed on JDC here at the time.

Hewitt's ebay userid is Beam265

He bought a vintage Alembic F-2B preamp from the US and then a bunch of parts from a Hondo bass

The there was also this AMS Delay Unit which Hewitt claimed belonged to Hannett but someone posted a link of him buying it on ebay a few weeks before!

Don't get us started on the Ian Curtis Leigh Festival Melodica(s)!
