REPAIR STORY:
The mixer was in good condition, just a bit dusty and rusty, but nothing that a deep cleaning
couldn't fix...... but I still haven't connected it to the power.
After taking all the precautions of the case I opened the case and saw already a problem, the return
section isn't attached to rest of the system..... not good!!
I checked the power supply, everything seems good..... let's switch it on!
+/-15V CHECK
+48V CHECK
+15V CHECK
everything seems good enough to me...... this mixer still have a hope!
as I felt lucky (as the previous owner declared, the mixer had no problems back in the days beside
some not working channels....) I decided to connect the main board, and everything seemed to work,
just a dead channel that I decided to exclude from the rest of the mixer, as it was useless anyway.
The return board wasn't too much perfect tough, some fader and potentiometers were bend and it was
already detached....... but as from testing there was no sign of fault I, contemptuous of danger,
decided to put all together to let them enjoy to be together again..........
And nothing
Everything seemed stable and working,
What a shame, I didn't need to do much more than clean for a couple of day every single part of the
mixer and that was done. Not even the chance of doing some experience.
Fortunately the first problem didn't let me wait too much...... some of the returns are bleeding
into each other (aka letting the sound flow where it shouldn't). Finally some fun!
Schematics on hand, I was all ready to fix this not so big problem, but less i know that the story
of this mixer was just begun.... more in the next chapter :)
