A quick update of the site has been done – it’s mostly the steam powered gears getting a good clean, oil and a new paint jon for the machinery etc. Worpress has been upgraded to 3.0.1 along with all the modules, the slightly-unsightly header fixed and some of the plug-in fat trimmed.

Stand by for actual content updates shortly!

Every time we think it might be about to get quiet things suddenly get chaotic around here!

Portable PA rigs and stereo systems for boats, insurance work replacing lightning damaged telephone systems, audio improvements to small bars, plenty of new hosting clients, expanded storage facilities at our head office, client website updates and even a bit of automative repair.

What do you need done today?

We’ll be cleaning up this site shortly to put all main news here and replace the home page to avoid any double up on information.

We’ve been helping this super-swank small bar for some time now. PA upgrades & repairs, storm damage and more…

The big “B” – we seem to spend far too much time in these stores. Fasteners, paint, general stock and more. We’ve upgraded our Trade Account to cover all our new projects!

Serious sound reinforcement, installable sound and more can be had from these guys.

From components, tools, cable, leads, connectors these guys have got it.

Sammy and his team have been supplying us with top rate DJ source gear and more for years.

Having recently relocated to Joondalup we have continued to meet all of SKY Managements IT and logistic requirements. With interests in Metro & Regional hospitality operations numerous projects are undertaken for them each year.

The final straight in to the end of the Financial Year was certainly a sprint!

PA installs in the North West, building portable generator powered DJ rigs for charter boats and rewiring lighting damaged telephone system – just a little of what we’ve been spending our time on. Have a look in the projects page for more detailed info.

We’ve also updated the site and added some more scrapbook items to our Facebook page. Are you following us (factotumindust@) at Twitter yet?

What started out as a simple call for help for a phone system that wasn’t working soon turned in to a much bigger job.

It seems the early morning thunder storms over the Northern Suburbs brought with it a few million volts down the client’s phone lines. The PABX had been completely destroyed – the arrestors had literally been vapourized off the PCB. We were able to set up temporary diversions then set about replacing the PABX, handsets, patch panels, wall sockets and other components that had been damaged. The system was up and running overnight.

Are your phone lines protected against lightning? Do you have an alternative plan for when your phone / broadband goes down? Factotum Industries can supply you with a solution…
