Hi folks! Last year I purchased a parts machine for my SC600. It was basically complete but for the power supply. At this point I've taken what I need and now have more channel strips that I'll ever need so have decided to sell some. They have all been recapped to spec with Panasonic FC caps. There ...

One of my favorite tricks is to put a LD condenser inside a cardboard box, and then gently tap the side. There's TONS of attack and low end, and it seems to work best if you only tap it very lightly, like with the tip of your finger. This is a great sound, done this myself. Hell, Bog Log III used t...

Hi Sam, not to hijack your thread, but how much was the recap, I have a 500 in need of a good servicing? Short answer: don't know. Long answer: All I had done by the local shop was the Master section and the PSU. In retrospect, now that I've done a bunch myself, I would still pay someone to do the ...

Ugg. I'm about ready to shoot this thing! Seems I jumped the gun a bit, because while the Mix Outs are now in phase, the CR and Studio outs are not. I know this doesn't make much sense. :x Today I traced the connections from the Master PCB through the ribbon cable to the various I/O on the rear conn...

Problem solved!! That said, the only explanation is a rather odd one. After taking great pains to return the Master Module to stock, I began working backwards from the Mix Out, tracing the signal path from component to component with nothing but the continuity tester in my multi-meter. Far as I coul...

I have 3 thoughts. 1> This thing seems to be a bit of a basket case. Without knowing how and why it's been modded, it's very hard to know how to maintain it. Do you know how it was being used perviously? Thanks Scum for all your help... basket case indeed! My understanding of how it was previously ...

bumpski... papa needs some new gear, this's gotta go!

For drum sounds you might want to consider the Glyn Johns method. Minimal mics, unique stereo image, great rock sound. http://therecordingrevolution.com/2011/01/10/the-glyn-johns-drum-recording-method/ I usually get quite a bit closer than what's shown here, using dynamics/ribbons or LDC's. Hit 'em ...

Far as I can tell the signal at the inserts is healthy. That is, the send is the send, the return is the return, and it the phase issue remains in the Mix outs. Also, all other caps are present and accounted for. There are some other missing parts, however. Specifically, what on the PCB is labeled F...

Are the missing cap locations just totally empty? Or have they been replaced with wire jumpers? ... How do you have things connected? Balanced or unbalanced? If unbalanced, you're grounding the cold conductor, right? First question: they were just empty, no jumpers. I put caps in this afternoon, bu...

Slow and steady, I'll be putting in the old sweat equity (that soldering iron's hot you know!) over the next few days, and will check-in with nay further head-scratchers. I just noticed that the PCB is missing 6 47uF caps . I had the master section recapped by a local shop, so I'm not sure if these ...

A few things of note I've discovered today: R39 and 139 were both 1/2 removed. That is, the resistor was conveniently left on the board, but one side was removed from contact. Upon reconnecting R39, the Right side of the headphone out became distorted, where-as before connection it was clean on both...

Is the Mix Output flipped? Then the issue is at the IC5 wiring or the IC itself. Are any of the Tape Outputs flipped? Then the issue is in the wiring there. Is the output flipped at the Studio Output? check that part. Is the output flipped only at the C Room? check that part. Once you isolate the s...
