We have been looking at several tape machines this weather including the Tascam 38, the magnificent Lyrec TR532 and the Fostex G24.
A couple of the excellent Hammond X5 organs have been cured of their faults from notes not working due to faulty octave generators to dead reverb and percussion circuits.
Some nice examples of Wurlitzer and Rhodes pianos have been on the bench recently with a variety of electronic and mechanical faults.
DJ equipment has again been the order of the day with several servicing jobs from DJs in the UK such as units by Pioneer, Technics, Allen and Heath and Numark. Units requiring repairs following drink spills to older, tired units needing servicing and replacement laser units. We have completed several during-week turnarounds for busy DJs.
We've been repairing and servicing a mountain of power amplifiers recently such as the Crown MA2401, Crown 5000VZ, EV P3000, 100V line units for theatre and clubs and many other models by Crown, Crest Audio, EV, Yamaha, Dynacord and the like. Many had blown output channels and some just needed the cobwebs sucked out and serviced.
The cold weather has brought a bunch of elderly Hammond organs to their knees..! We have had six calls for Hammond and Leslie repair and service in as many weeks.
The Connect Festival brings a heap of beer-damaged equipment to the workbench!
