Why do you think it has a short? What is the unit not doing?
Bose 901 equalizer
- Thread starter connie63
- Start date
I got a Bose 901 Series VI EQ from GW that was in great physical condition but when I got it home found that it wouldn't light up. Turned out the power transformer is mounted to the main circuit board and it was obviously mishandled causing the transformer to attempt to leave the premises, breaking the transformer coil leads AND cracking the circuit board. Things were still together enough that a dose of super glue to the board and solder/wire bridges along with a little surgery on the transformer leads brought it back to life.
The kicker here is that I don't even HAVE a set of 901s ... is this hoarding behavior? Why, yes, I suppose it probably is.
Anybody need one?

Its being weird. Like I said the light flickers but if I tilt the EQ up the sound goes off. I set it back down and the sound comes back on. I checked everything and can not find a short or crack in the board or anything.
@PioneerPro. , had that problem with my Series 2 eq for a long time. Finally found that it was the tape-monitor switch, which had an open frame switch (at least on mine). A few squrts of contact cleaner, working the switch back and forth, and she's fine to this day (bought new in 73/74 ??)
Also, will note that the rca jacks developed that powdery silver/white oxidation, but that never seemed a problem, at least for me.

Hi All.. !!
Need a little help confirming the connections for my HK930 to my new (to me) Bose 901 series II Speakers with Equalizer ( to high-school dream set).
Seems to I have correct, but would enjoy some confirmation from you all.
Thx..

I use a tape monitor loop rather than pre out/main in.
Allows easy bypass of the EQ if you may also use speakers other than 901s with the system, say on A or B connection (system 1 or system 2) while the 901s are on the other.
Connected to pre/main will make the 901 EQ curve go to any/all connected speakers.

That happened to me and, unknowingly at the time, my Cornwalls were connected to the 901 EQ. Surprisingly they actually sounded quite good.

Granted I have a series V setup - You can use tape 1 or tape 2 on amplifier/receiver to connect directly to equalizer in/out. This will give you the ability to bypass equalizer by deselecting the tape button on your amp/recv.
If you need a video just go to YouTube and type in Bose 901 series II connections. It will probably show Bose 901 series V or VI but the connections are still the same for series II.
