Learning to love the Harp

I'll take the chicks, just get rid of the harps. Harps are like harmonica's and squeeze boxes..... Lame

A comb and a piece of wax paper would be better.... and a KAZOO
 
Hey Fairchild! You have a GAS Thoebe? I have one with an intermittent channel. Do you happen to have schematics? I have the Phono Circuit and the Line Amp drawings, but that is all I have. Funny thing, many of the parts used in the preamp are not the same as the schematic. Not completely unusual, but disconcerting when trying to troubleshoot.

Yes, love my Bongiorno sound, no I haven't got a schematic sorry, I looked and I can not find the old SAE forum, up until his passing you could still talk with James Bongiorno, there were many SAE and GAS fans on the site.

What I have ran into most is either a dirty balance control (slides), dirty switches or RCA plugs. Try checking and cleaning them.

I see you are a real connoisseur of music.

No Blues for you.

Have you considered that a Harp is a piano without he keys?

I found the old SAE talk site https://groups.io/g/SAE it is an closed group but you may do a bit of searching.

I did a search there for GAS Thoebe https://groups.io/g/SAE/search?q=GAS+thoebe

I think that video won me over, I am a harp fan :-)

For Perry a harp and accordion, Wow!
 
Normally I drink IPA's, but I make an exception for Harp Lager. Hard to beat Hilda, the St. Pauli Girl. Met her at Oktoberfest last year.
