I'm most definitely into it.


Me? - I love pix of anybody's kit and/or their doings and would like
to see more of them.

I've cleared away the arty stuff from the studio and will be using the
space
for some leccytronics. I've hijacked the studio webcam and will be using
it
as a benchcam - it's taped to an anglepoise lamp. I'll see if I can get
round to adding a webcam page to my wee site about the speaker rebuild
fantasy. Meantime, find the webcam page on my arty site if you want to
take
a look (it's currently showing a bit of paper lit by IR emitters in a dark
room - the webcam's IR filter has been removed).


OK, Wally - links to pix then!!


Tonight's fun ******** is to see how many voltage regulators I can fry...


And I'm going to have a poke about in the plate amp to see if I can see why
one channel is dead on the 'Hi Level' connections:

Nice sites, but you definitely got shafted on the walling stones (under the
speakers).....

You're right - Homebase ain't the cheapest. ;-)

I've had a poke about wiv me meter and it all looks OK, but summat's not
right - when the sound is routed out to the speakers one of them's severely
attenuated (barely audible) while the sub works fine. I've tried to find a
short but no luck so far.

The speaker connectors are on the board above the surprisingly large
trannie:

The amp side (fed from a Line In) is fine and it looks like the speakers are
a simple 'pass through' (??). I've put it back on the AV setup and it's
working very well (for a tenner.....!!! ;-) - any ideas? (I know bugger-all
about electronics and bugger-all² about SS circuitry!!)

Trying the other (perfect) sub on the audio has brought some startling
results. I might be about to change my mind about subs on audio and might
have to consider summat a bit more 'musical'....???

(Or swap the plate amps over leaving the dodgy amp in the OK cabinet for AV
use and putting the OK amp in a better box....)
