Hi! I've been around even before mark 1 shipped. I love empeg! Never made it to a meet or got to code anything due to that thing called life - but i swear by it and to this day everyone is curious/jealous of it.
Unfortunately looks like i toasted the Hard Drives on a road trip across the country where i drove around for 3 months. I repaired it on the road, but then I lost the screws for the shock plate at a camp site and the HD stopped working coming down from the Grand Canyon Rim.
Then I had to cross a flash flooded river and shorted out the MB. I almost have a new one patched together but the screen is garbled (MB fuse maybe or cable - cable frayed!)
If you are interested -
here is a little Empeg powered Jeep off road action video!
