I was assuming it would come up again here re: his "engineering" qualifications. It didn't, but rather than backtrack, I'll just drop it here. If George Martin and Glyn Johns tell you that your built from scratch studio is for shite, it's for shite. I don't think any of the people who insist that Alex was some kind of electronics genius (including of course Alex himself) are in much of a position to evaulate the way Martin and Johns were. And subsequent events proved all too conclusively how vulnerable John was to manipulative con artists pretending to be more than they were...
Anyway, thoroughly enjoying this! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Fascinating research. Well done!

Fascinating. Needs a deep dive - if possible since I understand Alex did not grant interviews in detail (?).
Thanks Amy - hopefully more details will come to light!
