On day #46 of the Corona building lock-down, our director Henk vd Meulen and his crisis-team came up with the next step in slowly opening our KC building again for individual practise. For exact details we refer to the content of his e-mail and the protocols that were attached. What does this new phase #2 mean for you and for us? We will begin our more regular lending services again starting on Monday, May 11th. We have to prepare the…

We have to find alternative ways to work with audio, video or electronics. Aslo with your “electronics questions” we will be there to help you. We will create a new page referring to eLearning. Learning on-line, there are a lot of tools making this very well…
We recently bought a new ‘CNC-cutting machine’ so we can make our own front-panels or Printed Circuit Boards (pcb) in the future.Our colleague Paul is building the machine from scratch and soon it will be finished for us to realize our first project with it.
