My Harris Stereo 80...

S

SFM-Ptgal

As some of you know I own a Harris Stereo 80. It came to my hands with a few mods (Two relays were placed on channel 1 and 2. The mutes were messed)
On the last week I've beeen looking around it and managed to remove/bypass the relays. The mics are turning on with the A-P switch. I had the need to replace two transistors on the relay control board, wich I've already made. Now I'm struggling with the intermitent contacts on the relays when all seems to be ok. I'm not able to mute "studio b" speakers, and the CR ones. The console wires are hardened and dried (I suspect thats the cause for the intemitence).

It's very difficult to place the relay control board back to it's place so I decided to make wire extensions so that the pc stays above i'ts original place. The lack of tools unables me to leave it as I want (heat shrink tube, hot air gun, etc.) Even the multimeter test probe broked when I was checking continuties ::) The show continues :p

Just a line to say that my Harris Stereo 80 is now at it's original shape. All the relays were removed and the wiring went back to their original places ;D

And you get the personal satisfaction of a job well done. 8)

Now you can tackle the pesky ATR 700 ;D

Now all you have to do is replace about 200 dried out capacitors...

Until now I just got one issue with the caps. As long as they don't happen again I won't change any. But I'm mentally prepared for that, one issue at a time :p

I recall seeing in the late 90's, at the station where I work, the maintenance guys changing caps on the boards. 6 boards, about 1500 caps each. Crazy... ::)
