HI, I'm new here and I just aquired a cool device. Its a Grommes / Precision Electronics / Western Electric G5M Tube Mixer. Its a lot like the Altec 1567 Tube mixer but has a lot of important improvements. It has 5 transformer balanced mic inputs, , a line input, tube EQ, and a master gain stage. Basically I want to refresh and modify it. I would like to install DI inputs bypassing the transformer and direct outs for each of the 5 mic channels. It uses both sides of a 12AX7 per channel so I assume there should be sufficient gain for the direct outs. I want to use this as the front end for my DAW. I want the individual outputs for use recording drums and I want to use it as a mixer in its natural state for overdubs, utilising multiple mics into one output. What I'm looking for is any help with this. I could use a schematic if there is one out there. Maybe one of you guys has one of these? How would I go about installing the mods on this? Thanks in advance guys.

I have one, but have never tried to modify it. Just used it as is.
A schematic would be very much appreciated. If you want to post it here or send to wadenjulie at netzero dot net I would be very grateful.

Hope you don't mind me contacting you this way. Any chance you could email me a copy of that Grommes G5M schematic? My address is : ryanpaulyoung@hotmail.com
Also, do you happen to know what type of input transformers it takes / WHERE in the world to get them?
Thanks for any advice you could offer, I appreciate your time.
Cheers,

That's a nice mixer, My Dad was General Manager for Grommes back then. He had started there as an Engineer in the 50's, left and then went back there later. I also have the schematic and even the sales spec sheet packed up around here somewhere.

Oh sweet, yah both of those would be wonderful. I found out yesterday that I need either T1-L or T1-LA input transformers. Any idea where to might locate some?
Thanks so much for your help.

If anyone has a G5M that is collecting dust and not seeing much use, please PM me or email me. I've been on the hunt for one. I wish to do some mono recording with it.
That makes two of us!
Anyone that is looking to seel a GM5 please PM me here as well. Thanks!
