New Wersi UK Websites
Following the launch last month of two new Wersi
websites, a new page for has now been added to this
site for Wersi Direct GB.
Details of both the Wersi Agents for the UK can now
be found under the 'Wersi Service' link
above.

Pre OAS
Instruments
UK.Focus has run a
'Sales & Wants' page for members ever since the start of the
website and during this time I have been asked to
place advertisements for many Pre OAS type
Instruments, particularly those from the 'Analogue Series'.
As we are all aware
these instruments came in kit form and many hours,
months and I am sure at times much frustration were
spent by their owners in building these fantastic
instruments.
Many of the requests
and enquiries I have had are not from the original owners of
the instruments, many of whom are sadly
deceased, but from their relatives who
have since inherited them.
Usually they themselves do not
play or have no interest in the instrument but it is
kept because they remember Dad or Grandad spending
hours with his soldering iron building it and they
cannot bear the thought of taking the instruments to
the tip.
I can only imagine
that with little or no knowledge of Wersi they have just
typed 'Wersi' into Google and come up with this site
from one direction or another.
Either way it is
fortunate for all that they did as many have been
found new homes as a result and the owners have been
only too pleased that they are going to people that
can appreciate them and have saved them from being
broken up.
The new owners are
also equally pleased to acquire the instruments
which usually cost them little more than the cost of
transport owing to the little actual cash value of
such instruments now.
It is also pleasing
for me that UK. Focus has played a small part in
saving some of these great instruments from
destruction.
