Re: VU2 stereo VU buffer kit Build thread

Hi there, awhile back I bought a VU2 board and a pair of sew-160 meters. The purpose to build a case to match with my Technics. I built the board as per your instructions, everything seem to come on, the meters jump a little when power on, but no movement from audio input (tried multiple sources) I...

Yep just desoldered meter so it’s all good.

Hope this helps.
Worth if you have any pot cleaner to give the inside of the pot a tiny spray and remeasure with pot fully CCW to see if it returns to 10k. Otherwise the pot will need to be removed from the pcb and replaced.

Hi Joe

The values for VTX or oep a262a3e componentes are the same?
I have caps 100uf 25V. Can i use it instead 35V?

Thanks, Luís
Yes transformer values are the same. Yes 100uF 25v is perfect.

Hi- So with both SC and/or BIO boards unplugged it’s still 300ohm
Pull out the pot pcb out and if it measures 10k try measuring from the pot legs to the pot metal frame to see if there is a short internally in the pot.

Let me know what you find.

Hi Joe.

Received and tested with power. :P
The idc 10 pins is a power connector for other pcb´s?
The idc 14 pins is for input/output connections?
Can i have the diagram of that?

Thanks, Luís

Re: LA500A opto comp MAY 2021 BUILD THREAD 500/51X

Here we go! I did try reflowing make up pot joints just in case but it didn’t help. If you measure the makeup pot outside pads with pot fully CCW and BIO unplugged do you read 10k? Hi Joe Do you mean these pads? Reading is 300ohm Best, Alex Yes unplug the BIO pcb ribbon cable and see if it changes ...

Re: 8 Channel Relay Switch Build Thread

Hi Joe, I was wondering if you might be up for designing a companion board that had the logic to make this into a 4:1 stereo balanced source selector? Using momentary action pushbutton switches and including the LED drivers. I think others might find that useful as well. Thanks, Paul HI Paul Intere...

Re: MAC Rack kit Build Thread from October 2016 with slow attack led

Hey Joe, Found the issue on the SC board (I think) after re-checking every component-I had the 79L12 and 78L12 line voltage regulators switched. (I am supposed to have the C18 .1U cap installed- correct?) Pretty sure I fried them in the process of getting them out so are these fine replacements? (f...

Re: Regurgitator kit Build Thread

Yes brilliant as I suspected thank you.
