If anybody is bored, flip my upside down pics right side up. I got to run some errands. Don't tell Joe, He'll kick my ass for goofing off.

After removal of the plastic RCA's here is what it will look like. A pair of RCA's will connect to the cleaned pads and they are set up in a triangle. The grounds are set up in front of the L/R Pads. Look at the farthest pad on the left. That's the right channel (blue wire marked R) and the...

When stripping the RCA's out of the preamp, just cut them out with a good pair of cutters. We don't want to damage anything from heating those pads up. Plus, they are junk. I was taught Non-Destructive Removal of components in school but it don't count when Grandma and great-grandma used more...

If you haven't had a C-1 open, here ya go. If you can see, there is 2 shit-tons of solder AND flux left on these boards from the 80's. Don't put too much solder on them when redoing. And, get the flux outta here...... Notice by the RCA jacks....... I have done the Bill D Recap, installed...

Yes sir.....

I have no idea as to why my pics are showing up upside down. It started doing it a couple months ago. Friggin Chinee computers

Great news for the Carver Preamp builders. The Aluminum plates we have been using for the C-1/C-11 in addition to the Bill D Mods have been pretty much sold and the supply has dried up. I bought the last 3 from the Carver Site and used them up quick. I was bitching about the lack of RCA plates...

I'm a retired kinda guy.... I can't afford one being on a fixed income. I'd have to sell all my gear and I can't do that. Starting over like I did 10 years ago is nearly unthinkable.

She's a Beaut.......

Yup, went through Connector/Board Repair Course which was part of the Itinerary with Micro-Miniature Repair Course (Solder School) in the Nav.

A bag of Eyelets for the through hole stuff and a trace foil kit, cut out the burned shit and mix up some epoxy and fill the hole where you cut out the burned shit. Hell, with a board to copy it's so easy a cave man could do it. We had a vacuum box to pull out the bubbles before putting them...

If you still have them, I'll take them. I'll PM you later today. They should All fit in a small flat rate box for another $10.

MAN!!!!! Mike did a killer job getting my Tuner dialed in. This morning I fired it up on my bench to let it run and wanted to see how it acted. Before I sent it to him, I had wire for the antenna strung, taped, rigged all over the place and the stations faded quickly, lost stereo lock, and I...

I have pots left over from installing remote volume kits and from amps I stripped and I soak/clean/lube them and bag em for future use. Old pots come in handy too and I tore a few apart to use the shaft so when you need to polish/paint knobs, the shaft holds the knob and the other end goes in...

The round 2 gang pots have an opening where the leads solder to the boards and sometimes have a small round hole on the side. It may be easier for you if you unsolder the 6 leads and service them on the bench. I have a few tools and tricks to get at them but just remove them clean/lube and then...

Good catch, I use the F100L (1/2 drop) and a touch of the FG-213 (fader grease) after cleaning with the D5/F5 sprays. There were so many D's and F's flying that I goofed up my numbers. I don't use the D100/D100L or any of the red stuff. You don't need to disassemble the pots. A good flush...

I think I sent it to him on like 21 July and it's on it's way back to me already so roughly a month. That's pretty short turnaround.

I think the Ruskie posts are selling them in order to make money for the war they are having trouble winning.

I'm going to order one for Finn. Can't wait to see him eat it and then post pics of it coming out the other end. People are stupid and will buy anything. Chinee Junk that people are willing to go to jail for.

"Alps" If you just spray it with D5, your scratchy/cutout issues will be back. Even with F5 it will come back. I use a touch of D100L and a touch of Fader Grease (Deoxit) too. That will cure pot issues for years. That shit aint cheap though. I paid $40 for the D100L but the bottle lasted 6-8...
