Turnkey and Sound Control (UK) go into administration

[Timo]

10 stores have closed, the rest (16) are under control of the administration. No orders can be placed, and telephone sales will cease.

The remaining outlets are still trading publicly in order to sell off the rest of the stock from all the original outlets. They're not ordering any new stock.

There's a massive thread on SoS discussing it, too. It has hugely widespread implications and spin-off effects.

That really is good news, that some jobs have been secured and that they can stay on.

@ Mono, PM sent. Sorry about the wait.

Hurray! Turkey for Christmas after all

[Timo]

Hopefully they may have re-employed some of the people they laid off. I just hope they've honoured all the deals they made before they went under, too, so no former customers are locked in legal limbo.

[Mr Ben]

I for one am pleased Turnkey have gone.

IMHO the staff i had the misfortune to deal with in the past were useless and their after sales service was laughable.
It was the Dixons of the hi-tech world.

Does it have 8 wheels?

Banned.

[Monobeat]

Is it the digital downloading trend that causes hardware merchants to close their doors? ... and....Oh course... it must have 8 wheels.

Timo, check your PMs. I sent you a question about Korg Trinity a while ago. Rack vs. Keyboard... overall sound.... Sorry to post that here : )
