You paid him for this, right?
Quite ridiculous. 13 months is long past the time when you should have become more "formal" and gone all legal on his arse.
Write a letter stating plainly that you want to pick up the amplifiers 7 days (say) from the date on the latter Otherwise you will start proceedings through the Small Claims Court to retrieve the amplifier and monies for loss of amenity and costs.
Tell him, IF the amp comes back inside a week you will pay a reasonably repair charge but ONLY when you have had the amp at home for a few days to check it out. A quick burst on his banjo in his front room is not good enough.
Dave.
The problem will come if he's started it and it's in pieces. From experience with one or two other techs it may be difficult to put it back together if he's lost half the proper screws and things like that…
13 *weeks* would be way beyond reasonable usually, unless he can give you a legitimate reason such as a unique part that he's waiting for.

Yeah I know...I chased after about 6 months, and then again a few weeks ago, get promises then zero action.
This is with someone who I thought trustworthy and who has provided exemplary service in the past so I'm confused and surprised by this. Perhaps I have inadvertently caused offence in some way, who knows.
Sounds like formal action is going to have to be the next step which is a great shame.

I just can't understand WTF has been going on with this one. Hard times? Personal circumstances?
The workshop is located in another town otherwise I'd have just gone and tried to pick it up before now.
Maybe I should try and get this on Judge Rinder - at this point I'd get more entertainment out of that than the fucking amp. I'm beginning to wonder if I even want it back after this long :-(
