New Audio Products and Life after Retirement.
Well after most enjoyable time working for my last company it was decided the workload was too much (coal sack lifting) The directors let me retire early, and have encouraged my passion for design to start up on my own but in a very small way ( otherwise I'll get bored).
I am happy to say I will still be helping in some minor consultation work for them and a few more designs (small, yer right). I will find that fun.
I hope they do not miss my singing but I am sure I can get them a copy of it if I ask Simon nicely. (cabbages thrown)
So I will be making bespoke A Class products first and maybe easy to build, not so complex, kits for some of them. This will include Power Amplifiers followed quickly by Pre-Amplifiers, and as I said possible kits for less complex designs.
So after I move in on Wednesday the 30th July 2014 and sort the rooms out and find a place for the coffee pot, I will start on Project 1.
So watch this space, I hope I can fill it with nice goodies from my new venture. Name to be decided, no not Green Goddess and Brown Enterprises & Sons.
Thank you all for you wonderful encouragement and the lovely Directors of my last employment :-D
P.S. It only a 5 minute drive from home and no floods to swim across like last year. And I have windows to watch the apple trees being chop down for fire wood. I have alway said a good apple is a burning apple
:-))

Looking forward to the journey .
All the best with your new venture, C-14 (I won't charge for the branding work). You have the ideas to make this fly, you pretty well built the last >million pound company on the back of a good idea or two, it's just a shame of some the bigger ones didn't make full production.
I hope you have a lot more fun now you're in the driving seat! If there's anything Chewsters can do to help, do give a shout, I for am most interested what you do. The kits sound like an awesome idea.
You deserve this. Your post is full of grace and shows the type of person you are. Have fun!
I am aware that leaving TQ has negative aspects.
Clearly you remain driven and with some hope. My hope is that you can grow those. :-)
I'm happy to rent out my living room (mates rates) as the "test suite" for the soon to be formed "Wonfor Industries". ;-)
No doubt whatever u put ur mind to will be an interesting and exciting venture for everyone.
Hope u have fun doing it Col, all the best
They do that funny thing where they go on the next line down & can't be moved. Then the text goes funny after that...
I can't wait to see what ingenious devices of monstrous power you come up with this time!
Col the power crazed madman is going for 30 watts into 8, 42 into 4 from a transistor SECA amplifier! That should be pretty impressive whatever the colour!
For too good for the general public, I say...
Pfft. I'll believe it when i hear it.
Your leaving the country?
On whose final word are you waiting?
You'll be hugely missed. :-(
Whether a new venture is the answer or perhaps a quiet life somewhere else, he will always have the respect of his friends, and his dignity.
I don't know everything that has happened to Colin recently, nor will I. But I do know 'The Wonf' is tougher and more driven than those who have/would take advantage of him, he has proved this before. You cannot stop ideas, or underestimate the value of true friends. Colin has both.
This why I know he will never he will not be a bitter and twisted old man.
