Yesterday I got a visit from a friend who is clearing his attic, he's an orchestral player and composer and once experimented with making electronic music the way it was done in the early days.
So, I got a ton of stuff and 3 boxes of old parts.
He told me to take it apart for parts as several "old guys who know tube stuff" have taken an attempt to make this work again without succes.
I don't think I can fix this, though I would love to see it working, also, there's some pretty lethal voltages going on in this thing, I don't feel comfortable working on this.
I don't have a variac, I have not powered it up, the story goes that it is "working" but it only shows a dot on the CRT.
But before doing anything to it I'd like to show what I've got and,... who knows...
It's a tuning device... for instrument builders ?
I have not got a clue on how this thing operates, it came with a mic that is not functioning anymore but I was told it has once worked with a tonegen at the input.
So yeah, I love the construction of this thing, and parting it out and use the frame for some tube mic pre build is defenitely an option for me.
So I wonder, what do you guys think ?
