Only 10 ..... !! I've bought 7 while I've been away this trip !!! Still got another 4 weeks to go.

I think at the last count I had over 75 players around.

I've several anoraks.

ahha sorry I forgot 😉

Is the helicopter pad for air lifting in new cdps?

Brent

 

[shepperd]

I believe this is called hoarding and is a sign of great psychological disturbance...It will take several life-times to mod all 70+ and it behoves you to offer them to us at cost!

This ship is over 25yrs old and is on its last voyage/contract for our company.
It has been sold to a Russian operator and good luck to them !!
If a helicopter did have the misfortune to land, it would probably go straight through the helideck !

Yes, it is.

and NO, you can't !

The Revoxs and some Marantz/Philips are staying as original.
Some will get modded
And some are destined for sale when I get back, either complete or as spare parts.

Project 1 - top loading CD63 MkII
Project 2 - CD6000 with CDM4 and 4x TDA1541A

No! less than cost due to salt water attacking them (probably)

Brent

 

[barry.childs]

How can that helicopter take off when the pad keeps lifting?

 

[poynton]

I'm not worried about salt water attacks so much as Somali Pirate attacks !!!

Top loading cd63 eh! Using a magnetic puck from one of the Naims!! Poss a modded metal mech???

 

[AceFactor]

Stabby, If you still want that cd63 remote, message me your address and i'll put it in the post. I don't want anything for it. I never use them. I send the wife to change tracks!

Is the offer still available for the remote? I've finally got my player working only to discover the remote doesnt work! 🙁

Adam 🙂

 

[barry.childs]

First try the switch on the back. If it's not that, send me your address and i'll post it.

 

[AceFactor]

Silly me never thought to try that...now I have a working remote. I can feel the shame coming on already!

Adam 🙁

 

[barry.childs]

Yes, and how many more of us have been caught by that stupid switch. Me for one.

Alan those panasonics are very good vfm

Panasonic 22,000uF 16v

Get 2 and do the C814 as well!!! they are only.

If you really feel like pushing the boat out, get 2 of these for the other rails and replace C803 and C804

Panasonic 22,000uF 25v

You will need to be creative with placement but it'll be time and money well spent if you ask me!

Thinking of upgrading these Caps on the PSU - are the ones above any good or should I spend more - not going to use the analogue RCA ouputs only the digital into external DAC?

Also the servo clock - should I upgrade this on its own or use the clock signal from the newly installed Audiocom Superclock with a divide by 2 circuit?

Cheers
