I'm passing this along as part of that effort.</div><div><br></div><div><b>What's up:</b></div><div><div>Wearing my other hat—<a href="http://flashscan8.us">flashscan8.us</a>—I'm working with Tony Korte at VideoMagnetics to help folks who have been stockpiling heads get them rebuilt or need heads or assemblies examined with some beneficial incentives.</div><div><br></div><div><b>To wait or to not wait... </b></div><div>Some folks have been holding back on refurbishing until work comes in, or not getting work done because they think the cost is too much.</div><div><br></div><div>That's actually hurting the long-term potential to get Quad heads rebuilt, for several reasons.</div><div><br></div><div><div>VideoMagnetics is the last Quad head rebuilder on the planet—unless there's someone hiding under a rock someplace.</div><div><br></div><div>Lack of volume has forced cost increases for head work, particularly as costs of components have gone up. Simple economics are at work here.</div></div><div><br></div><div><b>How you can benefit:</b></div><div><div><div>Tony's looking for business, and through that business, a way to ensure that those who need Quad work done can do so in the near future... and perhaps beyond.</div><div><br></div><div>If there's work, Tony can keep the doors open. If there's not enough business... </div><div><br></div><div>We'll, we don't want to see that happen. So there are two things that can help in the short-term:</div><div><br></div><div><b>Head rebuilding in quantity:</b></div></div></div><div>There's the "SteadyFlow™" program for folks with a large number of head assemblies on the shelf, that need to be rebuilt and sent back a few at a time so there's a continuous supply, but not a huge outlay all at once. The incentive can be significant if the volume is large.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Head Health Checkup:</b></div><div>For folks who have head assemblies on the shelf but no idea what shape they're in, you can "Get Your Heads Examined" with the "Head Health Checkup." This offers a relatively low cost way to see what might need to be done and get a cost on doing so. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Not just for Quad!</b></div><div>The programs are available for Quad, 1" Type C, and 3/4."</div><div><br></div><div><b>Details:</b></div><div>I've attached two PDF's outlining details for each program. Prices are in the PDFs.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Next steps:</b></div><div>If you need information or want to do some business... </div><div><br></div><div>Please contact me off-list at <a href="mailto:ted@flashscan8.us">ted@flashscan8.us</a> with subject: "Head Assembly Rebuilding and Head Health Checkup incentives--Info request"</div><div><br></div><div>Make sure I have both your e-mail and daytime phone numbers, and some idea of what you need to have done. We'll get back to you and go from there.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this is helpful.</div><div><br></div><div>Ted</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
