Looks like nice Sowter input transformers! Could possibly be from a Chilton console, see if they match the attached schematic.

The schematic seems correct!
I've added wiring connections, could someone tell me if them are correct?
Where connect the 10k GAIN pot?
Thanks!!!

From that schematic it looks like the card can either be configured as a line amp or a mic amp, and the mic amp can be modified to reduce from 40 to 25 dB by changing the listed resistors.
I don't see anything about a 10k gain pot
I would try it as a fixed gain mic amp with an attenuator (fader) on the outputs.
 
ok thanks!!!
this circuit can drive directly an output transformer or I need another stage to drive it?
 
could something like this work to drive 600 ohm transformer?
Thanks!

I have that mixer. I have hand drawn schematics somewhere, I can check them out if you need more info. Gain pot is 22k on mine and there is a line amp card to drive the transformers.

[I have hand drawn schematics somewhere] -- Should you believe that your hand-drawn schematics are truly accurate in their representation and are clear enough to be easily read and interpreted when viewed, then send me a clear copy of what you have and any other associated and/or related material and I will go ahead and create a set of CAD-generated schematic copies of your schematic information so others can use them as needed. Sound like a plan???

PLUS!!!.....if anyone like -- mjrippe -- is able to provide me with any updated and/or improved circuit changes to the original set of schematics, then by all means "chime-in" and let me know what could make this circuit better and/or more operational. Team effort.

I'm....."Standing By".....

Apparently I stopped drawing the schematics at the mix module... But I can draw it out sometime next week. There is a unknown component (black with twirly leads... a thermistor?), if someone can point out what it is. I found a PDF manual for the M10 with almost all the schematics... except the line amp... (there is some kind of universal amplifier module at the end). I sent it to be posted in the document forum. I had 3 of these M series mixer a one point and they all had different revisions and mods. This one is LA2c.

Twirly leads could be an inductor? The universal amp with output transformer would be a good output stage choice.

Schematic for the line amp. I've tripled checked to make sure it's right, but I've got a teething toddler... I forget things...
