I was very sorry to learn that Fane has closed up shop.
Their very client-oriented service was totally out of time, even for England.
About a year ago, expecting a big "NO" for an answer, they actually agreed to fire up the "assembly line" (?) and make a single pair of drivers that had long since gone out of production, asking me if I wanted the coils wound for 8Ω or 16Ω! The drivers arrived three weeks later, and cost the same as the then current replacement production model.
No surprise they have become a vintage company.
I have noticed that the English are often the best in the creation of products which requre the balancing of numerous compromises. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, it does not appear that this talent translates to the balancing of compromises inherent in running a business.
