Neve 1253 ?

[aronaut]

I'm borrowing a rack of these from a friend and I can't find any info about them online. they are racked up with UTC A-20 trafos on the input. output are Marinair, the 2 cards on the inside are B102 and B104. I can take some photos if intersted.
were these actual mic amps or line amps that have been converted?
which board did they come from?

I guess I could call up the guy in Kentucky who racked them up, but I'm lazy.

any info would be appreciated

Isn´t that the germanium version of the 1272?

 

[aronaut]

could be? I think I see some transistors in there. I'm going to take one apart and put some photos up here.

anyone else? Neve 1253?

thanks

Show me that knob!

Yes, that is a germanium line amp with unbalanced input. Probably sounds very nice. I have some EQs from that era, great stuff. You need -24V for these.

 

[aronaut]

I see. yes, got the power supply. what era would that be?

thanks

Does anyone have a schematic? I have been working on a line amp similar, but have not been able to get it going.... -24V sheds some light on it, but if anyone can provide a full schemo of the germ line amp, thanks.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I would like to ask if anyone has a schematic of the Neve 1253?

Thank you
