Re-Capping Question
I just got finished with two of the hardest parts that anyone has to go through when restoring and upgrading a vintage console. The Burr Brown 2604's and 2134's are in place and the power supply has been replaced with a digitally controlled industrial unit which all together doubled the unit's headroom.
NOW, on to the next best part(yeah right). I have to recap the console due to it's age, but I don't think I have the same capacitors as most consoles. By the way, I own a Customized Hill B Series 3 console. Most caps are electrolytic cans and they reside on each channel near the connector that attaches to either the main ribbon or mainframe, but my console doesn't have those on each channel. The only three Electrolytic caps are on the Master section circutboard: Two really big ones side by side and a little tiny one near the edge. I hope at least someone on this forum hasn't abandoned the concept of quality front end mixers(And I don't mean Mackie). Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Re-Capping Question
As much as I like Pro Tools I doubt you'll find too many people here with a strong background in console maintainence. My suggestion to you is to try these places:
http://prodigy-pro.com/forum/index.php - in "The Lab" or http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/ - in John Kletts Forum There is bound to be several people in either of these forums that can help you with the info you need. James Lee Big Ugly Van Audio |
