Sounds like Lee is throwing down the gauntlet :-) Nice work Lee, stats look impressive. The rewire makes a measurable difference.

Yes Joe it does. You also have to keep in mind this one was the first to get the AC mains in relocated to the transformer side , the pots bypassed, and the Normal/Direct coupling switch eliminated.
 
Never gets easier and post-partum depression IS AN issue....

The purist approach Lee. This is the best. Did you eliminate the long shielded cables to the front pots altogether then?

Yes Joe, from the input RCA's to the board is it for the shielded. Same stuff we use on our turbine meters and pick-ups, very good stuff.

Sounds like I might need to give her a good wash down when she arrives!

No Scott, she was pure as the white driven snow when she left............leats I could do ya know.......considering...
 
Scott, after a 3 hour conversation with Ed last night, it was realized that Cathy may be double Zoebeled. In early, early Ser I's the zoebel was mounted on the meter board. Check and see when Cathy gets there if there are 2 5 watt 10 ohm resistors and a .1uf cap on it. I think there is and it has not ben bypassed. No harm will come to it but can sound funky at times./ If you desolder and remove the Zoebel it should still drive the meters with no jumpers installed.
 
The parts count.....

Is that the parts pulled out of Cathy?

I cut all the caps and resistors off at the legs and now have no meter response. Any ideas on next steps? Got to listen to her for just a smidge, but sounded fine.
 
Scott, could you post a pic of the meter board, component side??

Yep.
 
Not yet. It just got here Friday, so have not had a chance to ship it yet. Do I go online for scheduling pickup or dropoff?
 
Or take it to your nearest Fed-Ex store. there is a shipping label already made out from your place to Jer's. There was 2 small relays and some paperwork for him also.

Yes, saw all that Lee. I'll find a drop off on Monday. I haven't had a chance to pop it apart yet, just greedily listening. I will get a pix this week.
