Part of the Holy Grail.....

Postby Hank2k » 05 Apr 2016, 15:18

Just been looking at this AC15 on ebay, it caught my eye in general as it was the early tv front model. I then noticed the location being Wellingborough and the name of the seller and it actually turns out its a friend of mine. Ive been asking him some information and he found it about 25 years ago in a skip and its been under his stairs ever since. It appears to be one of the very first Ac15 amps with original speaker etc aswell, they changed the control panel in 1959 so i believe so this is a 1958 model.

Its amazing what items are still hiding out there, wonder if there are more original Meazzi drum echos hiding somewhere waiting to be unearthed.

Steve

I clicked on the Wannabe Shadows link and my system brought up a Windows security error.
Looks like a scam.

Unable to close the Window that came up - had to use Task Manager to close it.

Running checks on my system now.

Happened twice

Will come back if its my system.

Hi Stuart

Dont know why that happened, ive just opened it on my work PC and it was all ok.

It does play music as soon as you open it so it may be a plugin thats not working on something, please let me know how you get on

Thanks

Steve

I have now changed to my laptop. The desktop is running win XP with Chrome.

Same thing happened on this laptop - Win 7 and chrome.

The web page opens - has a wide banner which invites you to "Continue".
A picture of the band appears for about two seconds then the warning screen comes up.

I tried to past the screen in here but failed so I will past it in an email to you.

Steve,

I set up the email - ready to paste the captured screen - clicked the link - and now its working !!!!!!

So I had it happen twice on the XP machine - its now running antivirus check.
It happened twice on this machine (Win7) - third time its working.

I won't post again if it happens I will email you.

Sorry I can't repeat it at this time.

Same thing happened here, Steve (Windows 10).

I had to use Task Manager to close Chrome, as the adware disabled the browser's own controls.

You've been hacked (or rather, your site has).
