[Amps] Uruguay Amp Project

[Paul Decker]

Hi Pat, 



A couple of ideas for you.  Firstly, my wife's uncle used to run a very successful motor rebuilding shop in Colombia.  Most of his work was for the commercial marine industry.  They built and rebuilt all sorts of motors, alternators, and transformers.  So you might check with a local motor rewinding ship, I'm sure they are still in existence there. 


Secondly, there are some "other" ways to get things south without paying huge customs.  Ask around for a local hauler who makes trips north.  You might find a trucker who goes out of the country, who knows another who goes farther north, and yet another who goes farther north.   I know of cases where large goods i.e. refrigerators, TV's , etc have been hauled overland via the gray market truck drivers...all the way from Massachusetts no less.

Wow, 
  
Thanks all for your helpful contributions.   
  
What a brain trust we have here on the reflector. 
So, if anyone in SA  has an Amp, homebrew or otherwise that they want to fix, or even donate, or sell to this effort in Uruguay, please get in contact, with details.
