First time to check this one out. Cool collab's on this; Slash - Orgy of the Damned

Pulled the plug and hit the door early today. Weekend starts now! Chickenfoot

George S - Thanks for all the detail. Weekend plans got derailed so I did not even get around to unboxing the station. Working on parts list.

I will leave this one for the evening. Back in the day when FM radio was good, our local station (KMAC/KISS) had Joe Antony and Lou Roney laying down the rock tracks. They broke several bands into mainstream and Joe was pronounced the "God Father of Rock". https://www.joeanthonyproject.com/...

George S - great suggestion! I have the 191 clone and will definitely use it to check the temps. The station I purchased (not hakko), ranges from 400-890F. Has 700 worked well for you?

Next up; Gary Wright - Dream Weaver Humble Pie - 30 Days in the hole Blues Image - Ride Captain Ride Mountain - Mississippi Queen Starz - Coliseum Rock

Haha! But we are men and men don't rarely read the manuals. In this case I will have to have a look at it.

Desoldering station has landed. Assembly and practice is on the dance card for the weekend. And maybe read the manual.

For starters this evening, I drafted in some random selects from my Classics playlist. First five out of the gate; Bread - Mother Freedom Loggins & Messina - Angry Eyes Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen - Hot Rod Lincoln David Essex - Rock On Traffic - Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun

Can never go wrong with TOOL.

Add in some Waylon

Steve Vai - Fire Garden

Also involves some expletives in the process. The 40+ year old parts do not like to be disturbed. The balance pot got better after the process (now only 2k difference between L/R). The ambience pot did not fair so well. Somewhere between disassembly and reassembly it developed a hairline crack...

NICE work! Scary beginning but AKdeVo will have a masterpiece when done.

Usually don't see Mike Oldfield posted but +1000 for that. I hit play random selection on the music server and Part One - Tubular Bells was first song. Danny Carey of TOOL is crazy good!!! If you have not seen the following, check it out. This comes from another drummer who can do some crazy...

For those that are in the club - hope you had a good one! :occasion5:

There are issues - that is for sure. Did a little prep work today; Used the ambience pot as the test subject for disassembly- It looks good and test good. Will get cleaned and lubed for reinstall. Next up was balance pot (dual gang 50k at each half) - doesn't look bad but there is 5k difference...

Thanks for those tips George! Caps, resistors and opamps are on the short list for replacement. Going through the schematic vs. parts installed to create a list. Attempted some desoldering today but it is very sketchy with these boards. Going to invest in a desoldering station.

Yes sir! I have all of those bookmarked as well as your dchristies.
