    Ovation Guitars in CT on June 8

    Grew up in New Hartford. Owned a couple of ovations and had many friends who worked there.

    RIP Terry DeWick

    Sad news and a great loss. Terry helped me with my first Mac rebuilds with plenty of advice and guidance. Always relied on him to help with troubleshooting.

    First time powering used MC30

    Very nice and clean! Would be curious about the rectifier and power tubes in them. The rectifier looks like a 5U4G, and not a 5U4GB so the voltage drop and max voltages are different. 5U4GB is spec'd in there. Tube# - Fvolt - Famp - Vdrop - MaxPmA - MaxPv 5U4-G - 5.0 - 3.0 - 44...

    Quick cap question. Don't recognize this brand...

    Agree on the Orange Drops. 716P are my pref. IC caps as well.

    Quick cap question. Don't recognize this brand...

    I’d replace them all. Good quality pp caps are pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things.

    Heathkit aa-151 oscillation in right channel

    Might sound silly, but try a different 6AN8. I had a similar problem with a Heathkit UA-1. After poking and redressing leads, I swapped the tubes out, one by one, until I determined it was a bad 6AN8. No more oscillation.

    Telefunken Black Diamond ECC83

    The rights to the company names don't expire like patents or copyrights. Someone likely held the IP rights to what was left of those "companies" and M Mathews purchased/licensed those rights. Toni Fishman did the same with Telefunken's microphone production. He also bought the rights to...

    Attention Fairchild Freaks!

    Well, they probably could, but the demand would be so small that the price would be extremely high. The new 670 compressor is $35K. They will likely sell maybe 2 thousand of those over the run of production.

    Attention Fairchild Freaks!

    Some interesting news coming out of NAMM. Anyone with an interest in studio recording knows this piece of gear and its status/history. The 660 & 670 are really Fairchild's lasting claim to fame. https://www.mixonline.com/the-wire/fairchild-debuts-660-compressor-limiter-at-namm-2024

    Attention Fairchild Freaks!

    They are indeed foil and not plates. I have a very clear unit that I can photograph with a grid/size chart as well as color chips to get it right. It's the mirror gold tone that can be difficult to match.

    Attention Fairchild Freaks!

    Very nice! I'd be down for some foils if you go that route.

    Attention Fairchild Freaks!

    My .02¢ Cosmetics: They are pretty rough IMO. Give everything a good cleaning and see how you feel about them. You could repaint the trannies using an autoshop that can match and do a proper spray on them. The chassis' don't bother me so much and it would be cool to have the prototype...

    Attention Fairchild Freaks!

    Green underside was from the early units. The circuit was also an early version as Dave G points out in his great restoration thread. https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/rare-beauty-fairchilds-275-amplifier.909896/

    Early MC240 Owners Manual

    I think that is only the brochure, not the manual. The correct service manual is there, but not the owners manual.

    I may have that. I'll have to check my physical manual library.

    Can anyone identify the equipment in this photo of Louis Armstrong?

    They are Norelco R2R decks. The Tandbergs came later. https://louisarmstrongfellowsblog.wordpress.com/2021/05/21/armstrong-as-a-consumer-of-twentieth-century-audio-technology/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/20/t-magazine/louis-armstrong-home-queens.html

    Damaged MC 275 amp

    Was the box damaged, bashed or dented? If it was, it was the shipper. If not, the amp likely was that way when shipped. If #1, file a claim with the shipper, if #2, file a claim with paypal. Either way, a sad state of affairs.
