Anyone hear from Ben? Over a month since he posted an update to his situation. Hopefully he's doing well and simply chilling out.

Anyone hear from Ben? Over a month since he posted an update to his situation. Hopefully he's doing well and simply chilling out. Haven't heard, but his RGO profile says he was online 12 hours ago. ben, where you at guy? Any news? Hey guys, you read my mind. I haven't been on in a while except for the other day, as I'm feeling better now. Had a rough several weeks or so. The hyped up meds I was on didn't work for me, but now I'm on a different type and it has actually shown me some pretty good results. Aside from that, it's really difficult to type as my arm is broken. A lesion on my humerus ate through and fractured. I have to go in for surgery soon to fix it. I had worse problems to deal with, though. The spots in my lungs were enlarging and made it hard for me to breathe. I couldn't walk more than a few feet without getting winded and even ended up in the hospital at one point. That has all changed in the couple of weeks or so that I've been on the new drug. I feel sort of back to normal, except for the pain in the arm and a few other places. The one thing I really want to do is finish building my C12's, and I can't because it's my right arm that's broken. That's the soldering arm! Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts, guys. It really means a lot. |

Listen, i said i wasn't going to do any more projects for anyone until mine are done, BUT if you want to send me the C12 stuff, i'd be MORE than happy to finish it for you free of charge, i'd like to give you, no matter how small, something to look forward to on behalf of us here. let me know, and keep on fighting bud!

Great to hear from you - and even better to hear that you're feeling better generally speaking. Here's wishing the curve continues in upward fashion!

Tony, dude , you are a great bloke, like wiz would probably say.... This is the spirit of this board... ben, i wouldn't hesitate and send T the package asap. He is one of the officially best 'non-sucking' mic builders around here, LOL. Remember John's MK-U47? Kind of a no-brainer... :-) |

I'd love to take you up on that but you may be getting into more than you bargain for. lol. These are not Matachung kits, these are point to point, as historically accurate as I can make them, kits. Aside from that, it's the satisfaction of knowing that I built them myself, like my pair of MK67's. I SO appreciate the offer though, and I can't thank you enough for even considering it! |

At first I figured it has all been said, thanks to such an amazing community here of good RGO people! I have been circling your thread for some time, but just didn't have the words to say. I just can't go on without posting something to a brother in gear. Ben, I wish you the best and you have people praying for you in my neck of the woods for a speedy recovery. Keep your head up and know that you have people that care about you, and we all want you to get better fast!
