Hi folks,
Nice too see you all back on-line again!!
Tonight I launched a simple website devoted to Project Mavis. Follow the link http://members.chello.nl/m.vanoijen if you're interested.
The story began as follows:
Now you were all to kind to convince me that it would be a shame to rack the modules and it would be better to get the baby fixed.
So I'm still looking for a tech in The Netherlands, Belgium or Germany that can help me out.
Thanks,
Murphy
PS,
I pretty new at TT but I think it's an invaluable resource of information. I've seen last night's action from the start and I totally agree with this move. Just hope the old archives can be restored.

The story began as follows:
I recently bought an 'seventies' Mavis console. It's called 'Mavis 15/4' which stand for 15 channels into 4 busses.
I did a search on the internet and I came up with nothing.
The console has got some nice parts. P&G faders and Beyer input trannies.
Unfortunately I discovered that the internal wiring is seriously damaged, some of the output PCB's are missing and most faders are screwed.
What does work then? Well, the big PSU (+30V, +18V and -18V), eight of the mic pre / eq / routing modules and the nice little VU meters.
Most of the transistors are of the type BC384L.
So I thought let's rack the mic pre's as daw frontend.
Now I have some questions:
- Has anyone heard of Mavis?
- Is it worth it to spend the time and money to rack the modules?
- The gain of the modules is limited. Is it easy to increase the gain? ( I've got no schematics )
- Is it wise to build a phantom power unit in front of the 'fragile' Beyers?
Now you were all to kind to convince me that it would be a shame to rack the modules and it would be better to get the baby fixed.
So I'm still looking for a tech in The Netherlands, Belgium or Germany that can help me out.
Thanks,
Murphy
