Carver C4000 needs parts

[Dutch54]

I acquired a C 4000 that had the cord cut, I opened it up to see how hard it would be to replace and found the correlator board lose, went to reinstall and one of the board to board connectors fell off, so I am looking for replaces or a suggestion for a repair.The one that is needed is the 5pin in the photo. Thank for any and all help.

They look like Molex KK style connectors which Bob had a passion for. Cannot tell the pin pitch from your picture but they make them in 0.100" and 0.156" pitch

Can you tell me where I can find some, and what do you mean by pitch, are you talking about the pin dia. Thanks

Hi Dutch,
The "Pitch" on Molex KK Connectors is the Centerline to Centerline distance between one pin (or socket) to the next one.

Thank you Vintage 700b, and Gepetto, believe I have found the part to use for replacement on the Molex site.

Enjoy the carver c4000. I have a few c4000 and 4000t‘s around the house . They are great preamps

Does anyone have a parts list for this unit? Thanks for any help.

Hey Mark downloaded the SM, no actual parts list all parts are called out on schematics, but some of they have wrong values on them like R37, R38 say they are 47 ohm when they should be .47 ohm that is what is on my board, and been verified on the Carver site . Thank you for your help.

Yeah, service manuals can be flaky. Phase Linear is notorious for inaccuracies.

Burnish the male connector pins on every connector. Also check for broken solder at each male and female connector.

How much difference could one little dot make?

Often the scans are so crappy you cannot see the small dot in front of component values. Not uncommon.

New question on the board 20005 or the correlator board, on the parts locator page of SM there is a cap on the IC3 on the solder side, does the + of the cap go to pin 11 of the IC and - go to pin 7 of the IC for the left channel, and should the right channel have the same? Thanks for any help you can give on this.

Yea Mark, I was wondering if you could give me your input on VR1, VR2 on the C4000 power supply parts locator page of the SM, it has pin out of them as 1,3,2 is this correct and if so what can I use in place of them?

Sorry, I don’t have the information on the C4000 since I have the PL4000. Don’t know what to tell you on the Carver model, don’t know how far different the Carver is from the Phase Linear…
