Here's to you Bill!  Your memory & the Dynaco SCA-35 sitting across from my desk which you so masterfully restored will live on always.

I'm very sorry indeed to hear that...

Bill's Dynaco articles were probably the best posts I've ever seen.

You could see and read and feel the passion in his Dynaco restoration posts.  I really enjoyed his posts.  RIP.

Hi.

I'm very sorry indeed to hear that...

Bill's Dynaco articles were probably the best posts I've ever seen.

May I be directed to read up Bill's Dynaco articles, please.

Bill was one of the best friends I ever had that I never personally met.

He was always helpful and encouraging.  I was amazed with his workmanship and attention to detail.  He could restore audio components that I would have given up on.

He did wonders restoring old equipment and did it just for the love of it.

He will be very much missed.

May I suggest than who ever oversees this circle make Bill's restoration posts sticky for the benefit of current and future readers.

Mr. Bill Thomas has passed on as of  November 2011. He has been fighting something for quite a while now. He was truly one of a kind. He will certainly be missed by all that knew him.
Rest in piece Bill

   This is very sad news, although not terribly surprising given the long unexplained absence.

  Bill's posts here were far and away the best of their type I have ever seen, in any venue. His workmanship was extraordinary. Not many people would be willing to tackle something like taking the Scott preamp down to bare metal and back, even fewer would succeed. His was a singular talent that will not likely be repeated.

   I never met the man personally, only through audiocircle, but I feel a personal loss nonetheless.

I echo the thoughts of others. Very sad indeed! I hope he is in a better place, up to his knees in Dynaco stuff that needs restoration! Bill was a great inspiration and a kind heart. RIP

I had hoped for a bit more information on Bill from someone who knew him well. Anybody on the forum have a few more details to flesh out Bill The Man? Thanks,

RIP Bill Thomas. I have such respect for his work. I hope more can be learned about him and his life in electronics.
