So I had a couple of issues with my original B-format preamp. One gang of the 4-gang pot also got a little crackly, and I have a large classical gig this weekend (60-piece orchestra and 80-voice choir... and only one chance to get it!) so I wanted to solve the problem once and for all.
I found some Extron video sync converters some of which worked, and others of which were dead... but they had nice cases, and they were $5.00 each, so I tossed the guts out of a dead one.
Here's the old Extron unit with the lid off:
Made a new back panel and built in a B-format preamp...
Here's the new back panel:
and the temporary front panel (I'll make a better one later!)
Here's the back once it's all closed up:
...and from the front all tucked away:
Here it is with the ST250 control unit which it is going to be used for:
...and from the front:
/They work well together: about the same height, and will both fot side-by-side in a 1RU space:
-I feel MUCH better about the gig this weekend!
