Hey! 2006 is our THIRTY FIFTH anniversary! We started the digital revolution. This page of memories is dedicated to you who have been with us, one way or the other, for the whole time. And, of course, to those of you with Emergency EBAY Questions. A caveat: This page is permanently "under construction" as it relies on the fleeting memories of our founder, which memories are occasionally jogged by the odd email we receive.
We started out in the audio business. Most of our older products are in this category. (Current Audio Products) | |
All our Argus® moving map displays are still available. Software upgrades are available for older units. Trades-in can be arranged individually if you want a newer (color) model or different size. (Current Avionics Products) | |
A number of our older logger products have been discontinued. If you have an older unit, many upgrades - hardware and software - are available. (Current Communications Products) | |
Computer Products: Starting in the late 1970s and continuing through the 1990s we manufactured accessories for Hewlett-Packard desktop computers. Since the computers themselves are now obsolete, there is little demand for these products. We'll maintain information on this web site for reference and, if for some reason you still need one of these items, we'll take a look in the back. |
A word about repairs. We know that a lot of people are interested in "vintage" equipment, and would like nothing better than to get a brand new Instant FlangerTM right out of the box. Next best is to buy one that has only been exposed to fumes from Mount Vesuvius and has a colony of lesser snakes inhabiting it and send it to Eventide to be repaired. Sad news: We don't repair decades-old products, not because we don't want to, but because we can't. No parts. Nobody remembers how. And not economically viable. In many cases manuals are available. This FAQ on fixing old stuff may be of some help, along with some info on "operating systems." A number of our vintage effects units are now available as "plug-ins."
