flyfisher Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It's been a long time since I've seen so much tag-strip This is nothing special but it's the guts of a bass combo so I guess it qualifies for this thread. One of the high-power resistors decided to start playing up and one of the PCB tracks had cracked, causing an intermittent fault. A little tricky to find but very easy to fix, so it lives on.

Mr. Foxen Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Another Burman Power Pak with a crude recap. I haven't found my Bulgin lead, so not tried it yet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You know, it does irk me that with modern mass produced electronics you get easily breakable items that wear out (potentiometers) soldered directly to the PCB. I know it's cheaper to manufacture, but dear god, it's just bad design wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 How much money d'ya think Sound City are making from their amps that are still chugging along, or Hiwatt, or Burman? All none, worked themselves out of a job. Funny that the ones that headed towards a bit shoddy are still going.

PURPOLARIS Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here's a few pics of one of my amps. I guess people will get this one fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Valve amps, love them, and have had (and have) my share of Hiwatt, SC, Marshall, Vox and homebrew. Well executed amps are things of elegance and beauty (to me anyway, am I sad?). I love the simplicity and ease of repair, which I can do myself most of the time. Downside is when repairs are not DIY or involve transformers. The moment repairs involve a skilled person who makes a fair living, then the effects of new technology start to have a bearing. Class D poweramps are now silly money (Peavey IPR 1600 £219),they can almost be treated as consumables if lasting 2 / 3 years. Think I am going handbuilt valve pre-amp, then class D poweramp. best of both worlds? Must get shot of my SC120, is very tidy and unmolested, just hisses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTypeV4 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It is indeed. looks lovely doesn't it! I think its the old Hiwatt syndrome; Built to last so it didn't break so nobody bought new ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Opened up my hifi amp because an input was being a bit dicky. It has a Multiplex Demodulator: These things are works of art: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just got my SC200 roughly working. Needs switch wiring sorting becaus the light goes on when the standby is off, and the bias sorting, then tidy up the wiring.

Big_Stu Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not a "guts image" as such, but if anyone's interested I can probably take (eventually) a pic of what was done to change two of the speaker outs into a slave out & DI level??

Mr. Foxen Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Would dig that. The outputs on this were wired weird so you had to have two cabs plugged in due to capability of destroying any single cab available from Sound City.
