I used Pagebuilder as I created my site using Geocities.
I did not use any html code. This is why nothing appears. Perhaps u cannot view the source code because of this. I'm not sure.

I'm guesing that Roger made his own talk box, but you should get your hands on the Dunlop (from Piedog UK as I mention in your other thread!) because apparently the sound is more or less the same.

I like your site - the do the guy proud I'm sure!

The answer is in an interview that you posted on your site:

Q : We don't see anymore of these talk boxes, So is there someone who's taking special care of yours, cos' it must be hard to keep it in playing condition?

ROGER TROUTMAN : Good question! Great question! Lester & I studied how the first company made one. We studied what the parts where, & we built our own. So there's nobody to maintain it but us & it is very very difficult to maintain. It's a constant headache! That's why I have two on stage so that I can switch if one breaks down. And there's two mechanisms within each one. So it's definitely a problem.

OK, but I do think there is a company which custom builds them as they build them 4 Teddy Riley.
