Me?! Cheap?! Nahhh......

I'm running a 4 fin, granted it just runs a set of compression drivers, it's never been hot. Even running Dahlquist DQ-10s and my ghetto line arrays I havent felt it get too hot. If you have 4 ohm speakers you might have trouble. you also have to drill some extra holes in a 4 fin to make the...

Some more progress, some HiFi audio on the left now, much lower than the right but there, I suspect poor connections on my sound board recap botch job

More progress! The guides are okay. But there's another nasty SMD 3.3 uf 50v capacitor on the bottom of the head drum that is junk. Couldn't get this to track any tape for shit. Swapped out now we're good. This works for many JVC VCRs of this vintage. All the info in this thread is found on...

My mini bike 'ould fit

Rig up a speaker switch and use the single drivers with acoustic music and the 2 ways with the more "produced" music If I get bored I still have those tang band w4 2142s I can throw in bass reflex boxes and an SET Amp still sitting on the rack. Patch it in with the MiniDSP and gooooo!

I would, it might prevent you from smoking expensive output transistors

Eh mine's not but I did have issues. My build threads are there for the world to see.... Look at Eric's (Hexis22) build threads, that's how to do it. My threads are kinda not how to do it

I got by with a multimeter, variac, and dim bulb tester for my two WOPL builds. Yes you have to buy the output transistors and they're not cheap but White Oak is selling them cheaper than Mouser or Digi Key. A big hot iron (60 watt) is recommended for those backplane boards as they soak a lot of...

These SMD capacitors are responsible for the lack of HiFi audio. Note how I wrecked the traces on one side of the board..... I have no HiFi audio on the left channel..... I do have a picture now with a poor vertical lock.....again I think the guides are thwacked.....

All apart for cleaning and new grease. Solved the tape eating. Lack of stable picture seems to be related to the guides around the video head.

So last week I got this VCR from Mark Comer, he gave it to me for the price of shipping. Let's address a few problems. This guy with the two gears runs the reels and is causing the tape eating....

Thank God for youtube. Otherwise I'd have to go to some hipster hellhole city to see that.

This is a good listen. Quah/Jorma Kaukonen with Tom Hobson

Yeah I can burn out a needle in a year. If I can get that conversion VCR sold I might.....

Giant db/vu meters attached to microphones

Nope it's something else, very old. I saw a Wilton at NAPA but it was chinee
