Carver C-4000 recapping

Przem,
I have the original C4000 service manual and I confirm that there's no component list .
In case you want to recap it I suggest to use this method :
Remove boards one by one and recap and after insert it and check always one by one .
It' s a long but safe procedure .
I made this with the two my father's PL 4000s.
Obviously before buy 10/15 caps from 1uf to 10uf .
Ciao

Probably to upgrade the 4136. You could use the Brown Dog adapter with the Burr Brown OPA 2134s on it.
 
Przem,
the transformer is 15 /0/ 15 100W .
If you don't use the power amp for time delay 50W should be sufficient .
All ICs are supplied at +12 / -12 V via series regulators .
Delay unit power amp is supplied at +22 / 22 V after the rectifier ( 22 is moreless 15 x 1.41 )
The Sad 4096 is a " bucket brigade " IC to perform time delay .
Very rare and very expensive .
Ciao

Simply remove the four screws of the handles . The same as PLs series II .
( if i remember well ) .
I have seen you have removed the power amp for delay unit ;
remember that in this case the low level delayed outputs don't work , because the
signal is got from hi level out via a 20dB att.
The power amp is mono and left and right signal is the same , but out of phase.

Same as the 3300 Set II, except it comes off with the faceplate ...
 
Przem,
sorry I have forgotten the headphone jack .
Simply desolder it .
Ciao

Here is my C4000 in black , made by a dud about 30 years ago .
The faceplate was anodized in black with a new silkscreen .
After I spray painted handles , knobs and switches .

Ps: Prezem if you are in troubles with your C 4000 ,simply ask .
 
Thank you Mike.
Przem,
I have just seen that in "The Carver site" the C4000 service manual has been published .
I think it will be very helpful for you.
I also gave a wrong info about time delay unit power amp : it's stereo not mono .
The delay unit is mono and the phase shift unit is before power amp and not after .
Sorry , but after 30 years my memory ....
Ciao
Marco
 
Would one out of the original 4000 work. I have 4 of the damn things laying around.
