Greetings from Strasbourg, France

Hello to all,

I'm based in Strasbourg, France and I'm interested mainly in restoring vintage Dual hifi and Tascam recording equipment. I have only been restoring stuff on and off over the past 10 years, so I have much to learn. Prefer the older pieces of gear as they seem simpler and I can get my head around the electronics! I have brought back to life a Tascam 38 tapedeck, M35 mixer and a few other bits and pieces - dreamed about having them in a home studio when I was a teenager. It's only taken me about 40 years, but I'm getting there. Managed to build a functionning (albeit imperfectly) RCA BA-2C preamp for some ribbon microphones I have - just need to deal with the source of an annoying background hum...like I said, I have much to learn...

Currently working on restoring an old Dual CV40 amp for use with a Dual CS510 turntable (equipped with Shure M95 cartridge). Love the look of the old Dual equipment! I intend to use them to play my LPs.

Look forward to exchanging with you.

Martin
