    JBL L212 restoration

    Tested the xmfr and it is good. The power and phase switch function but the power indicator lamp is bad. Went through the parts list in the service manual and the plan is to replace all resistors, rectifier, the small e-caps, and a couple of diodes. As for the PS caps - there were 4x 2500MFD...

    JBL L212 restoration

    The sub (Ultrabass in JBL terminology) has an amp (bass energizer) built into the bottom of the cabinet. These amps are known to have problems and I did not know what to expect when opening this one up. Well, someone has been in here before.... Two missing caps! Like other boards of this era...

    JBL L212 restoration

    Working on bringing these back to their former glory. Like the PL gear, I acquired these from my uncle who purchased them new in the early 80's. The L212 was a JBL 2.1 design from the late 70's.

    USB Power Question For The Technically Inclined

    To further what BlazeES stated, you need to know what each port on the Mini is good for. Some share power between ports and if one over consumes, the others become dead (sounds like you already discovered this). I will throw this out as another option - battery power the DAC; I have a desktop...
