Ed Martin: Marcof


Anyone know how to find Ed Martin of the old Marcof Electronics? I'm looking to have some Bedini amps I bought from him rebuilt. I saw on a post here that he sometimes still does this. I have not found anyone else locally (with a good reputation) that seems to know about these amps.

I believe the tech at Brooks Berdan in Monrovia, CA is quite familiar with and competent w Bedini
Right you are tomic601. Tom Carione is the techs name, and he is in the store on Wednesdays and Saturdays. A few years before Brooks died he had an absolutely mint Bedini 25/25 in his museum. I wanted it pretty badly, but already had a working 25/25, so passed on it.
Thanks all- I will contact Brooks in CA. Any details on contacting Will Vincent? Maybe he is closer to me in St. Louis.
Ed is one of my dearest friends. I still speak with him once or twice a week.
If you ever knew where he lived 35 years ago,  he is still there. 


I was only at his house once in the 80s. Couldn't even tell you the neighborhood.  I used to go to the store frequently. I bought a lot of their stuff. But I learned a ton from Ed too and that was more valuable to me. 
Hi Vinyfan62,
    I've learned a lot from Ed too.  I've had some legends that know more that I do tell me face to face the same. I could name them, but don't want to embarrass Ed or them.  Ed has never gotten the recognition that he deserves. He knows audio design as well as anyone that I have ever met. 
Tim, thanks for the connection. I spoke to Ed last night. What a great conversation! And I completely agree with your comments above.

I have a similar issue I would like to discuss with Ed Martin. If anyone could send me his contact info, I would greatly appreciate it.
