Cyrus 1 project

Hi randombeliefs,
Did you check the date on that last post? 2008 man!

-Chris

I'm finding info from back then helpful. Does it harm anyone to add to that info ?

 

[anatech]

I was hoping people would start new threads. Digging up really old ones doesn't seem to be that helpful. Those who need them can dig them up through the search tool.

I hope too

I hope too

not sure i fully understand this ,
if the reply is pertinent to the issues in the thread wouldn't the thread become more useful to someone searching for answers to a similar problem?

like it groups it all together, instead of disconnected snippets ?

promise I'm not arguing , just a bit puzzled !?

I mean would it really be more helpful to start a new thread entitled

"I think the cyrus one manual specifies 8-22mV across 107a"

?

I agree that using an old relevant Thread to show new solutions is a good way to keep information readily accessible.

I searched "cyrus 1" and it came back with 722 Threads.
Where do we start looking?

I was just thinking about what i would've found most useful i suppose.

I'm guessing threads could be corralled after the event by a moderator , eg into one "cyrus 1 burned out, how do i fix it ?"
and others for different cyrus 1 questions eg "upgrading" "modifying" etc

anyway this forum is a treasure trove of helpful info and a host of helpful people willing to advise and encourage.

other a nice problem to have

It would probably be better if a member started a new thread and include the pertinent information that most people would be looking for.

The thread should begin with a list of required test instruments so that there is no confusion over whether someone should attempt doing the work without the minimum equipment or not. I like to gage the likelihood of a successful repair by the knowledge and practical equipment someone may have. There is no point in ruining a unit because someone wants to do the work themselves, but are not capable of doing the job. It's always sad to see equipment that has been damaged by repair or modification attempt.

Thanks Chris !

 

[randombeliefs]

Thanks Chris !

what would constitute ruined ?

 

[anatech]

Ruined would be anything that affected the reliability or cosmetics of a unit. This would include damage that would require a high number of hours from another technician to repair the damage.
