Need help with a contact - Charlie Cocci - Gary Dodd

Hey all. I need your help. I am looking for a gentlemen by the name of Charlie Cocci who lives or used to live in Massachusetts...

He apparently has all of the schematics for Gary Dodd's work (RIP, good friend....I STILL miss our conversations into the wee hours of the night....)

I got Charlie's contact information through someone at the LSAF 2 or 3 years ago who was representing the Gary Dodd room. I got his contact number and while the wife was cleaning? The Post-It-Note with his number got tossed or misplaced somehow. Grrr.

Can someone PLEASE let me either know his contact information or point me into the right direction in order to find it?

I am working on an angle to reach Danny Ritchie....*maybe* he has it.

ANY INFORMATION will be helpful!

    Perhaps (???) worth trying over at AK? Fair number of Bay Staters there (I used to be one of them).

    Tom,

    Don’t know the guy, am sure some here will know.

    I believe Danny will be at LSAF this year. See you again? Let me know, will plan for it.

    Would be great to see that Italian from chi town again. I hear he believes In N Out Burger is top of his list next to Olive Garden.

    Kindest regards,
    Halen

    Oh, you KNOW I will be there!

    I was just hoping to get my system up and running before then. That MLP I have has synergy that is.....unexplainable (is that even a word?) in my rig. I want my synergy back.

    I believe the guys name at the room was Scott.

    I think the MLP is fine, believe the left channel pin and ground were swapped and led to a self destruct sequence

    Oh I was just kidding, everytime Tom calls me for a problem his polarity is reversed or Russ is in the bushes with an electromagnet or something

    It's just a Power Supply issue, George. My rig SUCKS without the Dodd. Tried two other pre's in the rig and on both instances, it was a severe downgrade. I still rarely even listen to music. I went from world class to a decent high fidelity rig. It's hard to go back to your roots when you have been spoiled for so long.
