So gentle when he tries to understand.
I dont want to argue with you Neil, or rubbish your experience, but I've just searched for Rega's telephone number and found it easily in the first few lines of my first google results.... unless it has very recently changed. You can also DM them via Twitter.Rega don't have any easily findable contact details on their website! You HAVE to speak to a dealer.
I understand they will want customer service issues to be taken care of via dealers, but I'm sure they will answer general questions.
