Hi there in neighbour land, I have been cleaning up garage and have an ace tone GT 7 combo keyboard and bass peddles to move along.
It has a stand as well. Now the good news,,she's in a bit of ruff condition and keyboard lights up when powered but no sound when pressing on the keys. I think it's got its own speaker. might suit a electrical tech minded person to get going. Years ago, 25 plus, I replaced a burnt out resistor and got it going again for children to belt out there best silent night number, or 'od to joy. More pleasing than a recorder. It has a volume nob. It is a rather large unit, so takers will need some spare room. Also does any one know how to run/work lyric pad please.
I bought the app and loaded it on to my tablet and need a bit of help in running it. Thanks, in advance, so give me a call for more info. 021 295 0174.

Diana Isaac Village resident Maria has a love story for the ages, being flown on a ‘Bride Flight’ by her beloved Peter from their home country of the Netherlands to New Zealand as part of an international air race.

In 1953 a London to Christchurch challenge was organised. The reward for first place (in what was then the world’s longest air race – of 19,756 kilometres) was mainly glory but also a Harewood Gold Cup, named after Christchurch Airport’s operating name in the 1950s.

Competing airlines, amongst the eight airlines, included the Netherlands’ KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Douglas DC-6A, on which Maria travelled. There was also a BEA Vicker Viscount 700 and the RNZAF’s Hadley Page Hastings.
