6 Klark Tecknik DN27A in for work. Its amazing to me the changes over the years. 2 units have input transformers and output transformers. The two will transformers will get a electrolytic cap change and general inspection. Of the four remaining, the most similar two will get Jensen input and output transformers, cap change and inspection.

Some time ago, I sold my Crane Song Avocet (which was awesome). I was doing less and less music work and more and more electronics, so it was time to simplify. I built a very simple completely passive monitor controller with just the bare minimum features. It was just for me, so it was not pretty but functional. It has a stepped attenuator, polarity, L& R mutes and Mono.

This one came in from my luthier friend.

If you don't know about Ed, you should ;)

This one is now on the desk. The unit is pretty good shape, others some minor signs of liquid "ingestion" on the top panel. The unit looks stock, and I can see a few bubbled electrolytic in there.
 All and all a nice build, with tiny input transformers on the 6 mic/line ins, and two output transformers on the XLR outs.
 

Hello !

I have acquired yesterday a 948. This is the problem : when a stop the record, it does not stop immediately (like a CD) but the « stopping process » takes about 1 sec,which results in a ‘bzhhh’ sound as the needle comes to a halt. The same when the record starts. My question is this : is this normal or are the brakes too weak ?

 Just got this in my inbox.

Hi Folks:

Super mixed emotions about the closing of the factory having lived in it for many many months.

I wish the Lyver and the Johnson and the families of all involved in Ward-Beck Systems a healthy prosperous new beginning whatever that brings. I wish you success in your new endeavors, retirement, and new opportunities.

In for a recap and retube and a few modifications. It’s missing the memory module.

This baby came in for a little inspection this week. The owner was worried that it was a ticking time bomb, as the start sequence would randomly take longer some days and not others. He mentioned, when cold, the unit could take 7-to 15 relay clicks to start. When warm and operating normally he would hear 3-5 relay clicks.

Hi all,

I'm repairing a couple of 7602 MkIIs, each with their own problems. Does anyone have experience with those or maybe even have access to a schematic or service manual? I have looked at some Neve 1073 schematics, since it's supposed to be a clone of those, but there seem to be enough differences outside of the tone circuitry that they're not terribly helpful.

Anyone know of a flange or some sort of adapter that turns these cheap 5-pin din d-sub connectors:
