Monday, November 17, 2014. Here I am, working around the inherent constraints of SMT componentry for use in your garden variety free form "rat's nest" point to point build. Saturday, November 15, 2014. Found out what was rattling around in my old Pioneer SR-101, something sheared the top of a 6BM8. More inspiration to stop gigging the antiques. Saturday, November 08, 2014. Anyway, been tearing down some organs lately and have wound up (literally) wading through piles of interesting parts. Are handled on ...

Tuesday, December 16, 2014. After a long while (10 years) of periodically checking for 2.75"/70mm throw sliders to fill the gaps on the Langevin AM301. I finally stumbled across an auction for unused Duncan Slidelines and decided to procure one for every channel. Granted, these are 100K lin as opposed to 50K log, but this gives me an excuse to fumble around with changing the law via external resistor AND to finally dive into this unit. Off with its face! Better oust these old electrolytics while I'm at it.

Sunday, July 20, 2014. So yeah, that preamble amounts to a wordy "yeah, yeah, yeah, I know" to the quantity of errors that I know follows, and furthermore to the quantity I didn't catch. Enjoy. As the platform I would build from, mainly because it was the first one I happened across that contained a sufficient amount of documentation. Clearly depicted here is a complete disregard for thermal coupling, though I did strive to keep signal flow as "direct path" as I was able. So, haphazard summing section in...

Sunday, August 03, 2014. Playing at an outdoor fest next weekend and have wound up supplying the low frequency component of the PA system, which will be run by someone else. The last time the bins were cut loose outdoors this happened. Fortunately a while back I wound up with a PCB for a stereo 3 way crossover that appears to be based on the Linkwitz Riley circuit, so I decided to build it with crossover points of 40 and 120 Hz. Which led to something of a congested stuff. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, December 13, 2013. Above my racks in the studio I have some old light bar lamps that have the sockets wired up in series. This is to achieve two aims: a nice mild illumination that allows me to see while not being bright and extended useful service life of the incandescent bulbs. No more using conveniently placed lightbulbs as cable hangers for me! In other news, I'll be gigging the reverb unit tomorrow, so I expect I should have some "I'm finished! Monday, December 09, 2013. The glued in monkey ...

Sunday, June 16, 2013. After breaking the old Japanese chassis punch set I've had for ten some odd years, I figured I'd have a stab at cheaping out with Harbor Freight to see if I can find something serviceable. Took a gamble with a 91201 ten piece punch set. Something to keep in mind about this set, it is designed around outside diameter of conduit. Allow me to demonstrate:. If you're bored and want to read more about this sort of thing, look up "cast iron railroad bridges". I've given the stud a bit of...

Sunday, April 13, 2014. Picked up a couple Turner 500 microphones with native four pin Cannon/XLR plug and noticed an ALARMING LACK OF INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET in regards to refitting these with modern connectors. Tons of data regarding the HAM radio OEM stuff, but hardly a whisper in terms of studio quality stuff Turner churned out before their unfortunate demise. The dirt and crud even lend a period correct feel to these, so as not to bum out the vintage zombies. I jest, partially. Apologies, I don'...

Friday, June 13, 2014. Happy 13th of Friday. This pair of Matsushita 6CA7 had made it all the way through sound check, and we were about to begin before the amplifier cut out and started stinking up the place. Carbon path through this former screen grid resistor now sits at 60 ohms. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wrong tool for the job. Shure ST6300 type 2.
