It,s a custom job made in China. Has 3 wires but seeing as there are no schematics available and I, ver never been able to charge it properly I don't know exactly what voltage it is supposed to be. It has 3 terminals so dual voltage. If I can get a working one I can find out. One idea is to use it as the basis for a DIY project.

Thanks for the info @bigRedX. I was going to send it to the Netherlands however this doesn't seem like a good plan at the moment. I bought this Backbeat on the Forum a few years ago . Apparently it was one of the early Crowdfunded Backbeats some of which have developed a known fault which means the whole board and possibly the battery need changing i.e. over 50% of the parts need replacing. I've been in contact with Backbeat and they can send me a replacement board from the USA which I could fit but there is no guarantee that my battery has not been damaged, however they cannot send me a replacement battery unless it is inside a piece of equipment, so the only way is to send the whole thing back to the USA and have it updated. So I am in a bit of dilemma. 1. Buy a new board and hope that the battery is OK - $130 plus duty plus admin plus VAT 2. Send it to the Netherlands and deal with all the extra paperwork - 145 Euro plus postage plus admin plus possibly VAT on its return. 3. Send it to the USA with hopefully simpler paperwork. $130 plus shipping to USA plus admin plus possiblt VAT on its return. 4. Put it back in its box and wait for the world to settle and buy a new one. £334.00 Regretably I'm thinking option 4 is probably the best and easiest option.

I have a faulty Backbeat. They sent me a new battery which I fitted however it is still faulty. Battery is not charging so only works for about 30 seconds after a very long charge. They are telling me send it to the Netherlands to be fixed which raises all sorts of administrative questions regarding paperwork, Customs, etc. Has anyone had to send something to Europe for servicing since Brexit?

This looks like it's what you want https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC14V-2A-UK-EU-US-AU-Adapter-AC-to-DC-Converter-Power-Supply-Adapter-5-5-2-PCL/154233414667?hash=item23e907240b:g:CnIAAOSwylpfz0LV&var=454339966712 Select UK version from drop-down box. Just need to double check that the DC plug is the correct size.

This small booklet is about 6" x 4". Again probably 1990s.

Here's another one. From the 1990s

Then it is not a combo socket so you need Speakon plug to go in it.

Not necessarily. There are 2 types of Neutrik Speakon socket. The combo type is a green colour and 2-pole only whereas the regular type is black or grey and can be 2-pole or 4-pole. What colour is the Speakon on the Laney? You should also be aware that the plugs come in 2 types - 2-pole and 4-pole. The 2-pole plugs fit the 2-pole and 4-pole sockets. The 4-pole plugs only fit the 4-pole sockets so if buying plugs be careful to get the correct type.

Just bought a like-new speaker cab and cover from Marc. Easy transaction, very carefully packed and ultra-prompt shipping and delivery. What more can you ask? Many thanks.

I ordered some LED light bulbs from Italy recently, value just under £40. They were despatched from Spain on the 13th via DPD. I'll let you know what happens.

There is a simple mod, removing a capacitor, that will improve the performance of the English Muff'n for bass. I went a step further and changed the capacitors in the tone stack as well.

Sadowsky string price is very good however their postage charges are extortionate, 50% of the price of a set of strings.
