Re: LA500A opto comp leveling amp BUILD THREAD 500/51X

It was the mechanism inside the VU. When I desoldered the faulty LED it dropped behind the mechanism and while removing it I accidentally puled and strained a very thin wire that connects to the back of the magnet, now the needle doesn't move properly. Anyway, the compressor is still fully operation...

Thanks for the info.
I attempted to replace the led but ended up damaging the VU mechanism.
How can I buy a replacement VU?
I don't see it in the store.

Best regards,
Antonio

Re: LA500A opto comp leveling amp BUILD THREAD 500/51X

Hi Joe! Finished building my LA500A last week. One of the most straightforward and simple DIY builds I have ever had the pleasure to work on. Everything went smoothly with building and setting up and the unit has been working 100% fine. I'm already using it on the lead vocal for this EP I'm mixing!...
