Hello to all Acoustat fans. Happy New Year!
I recently joined the Acoustat site on Facebook and was looking thru the various posts. I saw where a gentleman was asking if anyone was interested in a pair of 1+1's with Red Medallion interfaces. I responded asking if he might sell the interfaces separately. I own 4 pair of Acoustats and thought it would be nice to have a spare pair. He pondered it for a few days then replied that he would sell the MK-121C's to me. His reply said the interfaces had some upgrades: new capacitors, new speaker terminals, the high frequency capacitor was bypassed which limits the highs and degrades the sound. I was lucky he didn't live too far away from me. We made the deal and I drove yesterday to meet him and pick them up. They were in pristine condition.
I was surprised that I was the only person to reply to his post. I know how rare the Red Medallions are. I feel fortunate to acquire them.

Soldering job on binding posts
Thanks for noticing Andy, I have a friend who said he could do a better job with the soldering. One other issue I wanted to ask your help with or anyone else who happens to read this.
I need to order a new fuse holder for one of my MK-121-C interfaces. As you can see in the picture when I pulled out the fuse the glass broke away from the metal end piece which is lodged inside the fuse holder. No way I can remove it. Can you recommend where to order the correct piece?
All the best, blgtrio

Well, I suggest you try harder, perhaps using small needlenose pliers or hemostat. Otherwise, you'll likely need to replace the entire fuse holder - the chance of finding a cap-only that fits correctly is slim-to-none. The original manufacturer of the fuseholder was probably Littelfuse.
