hello all. I'm new here, so I am not sure if this is the best place for this or not. please nudge me elsewhere if appropriate...
I have been collecting old rica preamps, power supplies, and mixers for a little while now, and I am ready to build... something? by the end of it, i am hoping to build a summing console with a pair of ba-23 line amp followers), and a mess of outboard preamps.
I have these things to mess with:
an old mixer carcass (a BC-B3 that has been gutted, except for switches and pots, meter, etc)
1x ba-21 tube preamp
2x ba-23 tube line amps
2x ba-73 preamps with the appropriate power supply (bx-71 maybe?)
3x bn-6b 4 channel germanium mixers (one in perfect working order, 2 others need to be capped and probably a few transistors replaced)
1x bn-16 4 channel mixer (needs caps and such, but has the "ladder" style attenuators)
I have some professional development funds available to me from my school. I would like to find someone whom I can pay to walk me through some of this. I do have pretty extensive soldering skills, and can read schematics fairly well, though I do love a good accompanying diagram...
would anyone here fit this bill? or can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
"cold call" emails to a few places have gone unanswered. I don't blame them - it's a weird cold call!
basically I would want to wire up the console as, well, a sweet summing mixer.
and get the other bn-6b's working. then get the other preamps up and running, and POSSIBLY find a way to put direct outs on the bn-6b's, though I understand the is not practical for the bn-16.
well, I guess that's a hell of a " howdy folks", but " howdy folks"!
