D-Lab electronics is now on Patreon teaching basic common sense repair methods Vintage and modern

Yes, finally pulled the trigger and now have a Patreon page. Now that D-lab is my full time employment, I need to invest into it, expand the operation, share more information. I want the shop to grow, but lack time & resources. I believe that this is the best plan of action. Many things need to happen for the business to grow. Expansion, my current shop is 14 x 23, There is a possibility that I can commandeer our family room, which is 24x24. That would triple my space, allowing for new test benches, multiple projects running all at the same time. I have had several requests for merch (shirts/wine glasses, etc) Also new circuit boards design ECBA series. All takes time/money. If I can free up some time, I can focus on getting these things accomplished. So, I decided that Patreon may be the best avenue. In the past, I did not believe in it, since D-lab was a hobby, well things have changed and so must my way of thinking. Should be fun watching it unwrap! You can see my new page www.patreon.com/dlab_electron...

[@elwrongo]

Fantastic, great stuff, very inspiring!

[@paulwillett7115]

You are great, in your skills and every video you created! I was in the Navy through the 70's and went through tube and electronic training and in just recent years I have once again started working with guitar amps. You have helped me with coming around after all those years, but I will never be as good as you. You will definitely have my support!

Thank you for sharing. Bold and brave you have stepped out! We are here to support you Terry! Lord bless you richly on your new adventure!

[@glennjames7107]

This is the first video I've seen of yours and I subscribed without seeing any of your repair content, yet. I can tell that I won't be disappointed from only this short video. Will probably join you on Patreon also, after seeing some of your actual content. Good luck to you sir, its truly priceless when someone shares their lifes knowledge with anyone willing to take it. Thank you !

[@edwardhannigan6324]

That's cool news Terry...Good luck, and we're all here looking out for you..ED..uk..😀

[@fiddlix]

You are doing the right thing Terry. I know you will be successful.

[@bugsyjonesband]

I was basically “forced” into retiring. Best thing that ever happened to me. Best wishes and good luck. I need to learn a little more about Patreon so I’ll be over to check it out.

[@ken_konstantine]

I got signed up before this video even finished.

[@d-labelectronics]

Thank you my friend. These are exciting times for D-lab & family. Very kind of you

[@tomk1tl39]

Terry, that is the best thing that you could do is run your own business.......your next step, if you start getting overwhelmed with repairs, is to hire a 'young dedicated service tech' to assist you with your endeavor !......BEST OF LUCK to you and the family....BE SAFE ! ! ! ! ------> 73

[@greggaieck4808]

D_lab Electronics your tube videos are awesome

[@kevinhess9245]

Looking forward to seeing you have a successful venture ,always entertaining to watch

[@Bbendfender]

Thanks for what you do Terry. I check in for your new videos every day. I've learned a lot. You even worked on one of my amps.

[@bradrebar101]

Go for it Terry! You provide a valuable resource, for instance I built one of your 3 watt amps and I realized that I could build a good sounding, less expensive amp, (less than $150) because of this channel. I would gladly contribute, and your a fellow Michigander!!!

[@vbros7]

This is awesome Terry. I can't tell you how many times I've sat here wishing I could ask you some simple questions about projects I'm working on, but not expecting to be able to simply post them in the 'comments" section and have you see them or be able to answer them. I'm In!

[@BlakesGarage1]

I love this idea! Projects are piling up here (WRL 680, la-1linear, Heathkit sb610, Murch tuners, RME 4300, Hallicrafters s-40a, your favorite) and I would be glad to support you for some professional guidance.

[@captcdd]

Just signed up to your patrion Terry, thanks for the guidance today on the Yamaha solid state and the Fenders. Look forward to learning..

[@brucepierce6124]

I am going to send you my TS 820 in for repairs soon. For the life of me I don’t remember what is wrong with it. It lights up but that is about it. It belonged to my departed friend Ike Smith it means a lot to get it chooching again.

[@stevem.1853]

WOW I didn't realize you went back that far in KZbin. Glad to hear that you're next stage in life is going well, I hope to be able to do the same in the future 👍👍👍

[@wayneharasimovitch6531]

Hi Terry. I've enjoyed your instructional videos for some time. It seems I've always come away with something new. Well it's payback time. I'll be joining as a Patreon just as soon as I finish this message. I'll be very glad to be part of your journey. VY73 de Wayne, VE1WPH (Halifax, NS, Canada)

[@greenrumour]
