Racking Amek Einstein - Project COMPLETED!!!

Are they Scratchy?


If they are scracthy you should do 2 things before thinking about replacing them,
Scratchy pots can be due to DC leakage in the Electrolytic capacitors, so do a ReCap of all the lytic caps, those modules are more than 30 years old, so it's a good idead to do recap job anyway.

It's this doesn't work, it's probably dirt on the carbon track and oxidation inside the pot, so use Deoxit D5 and spray it through the small opening on the back of each Pot, Rotate very well and many times the POT after spraying.

One of these should fix

Yes, there scratchy!

thank you very much - I'll be sure to do that!

Do you have any recommendation for balancing the output?
I think none of the suggested ones from back then are available anymore.

These might work really well:

It is a shame that these were discontinued..

I have many boards for Balancing out, they use the THAT 1646 or the DRV134 IC's,
I can send you one or 2 for free,, you just have to pay postage.

Send me a PM


There's also many many people here that have unused SSL9K balancing PCB's, there were hundreds of those sold here.
A Request post in the Black Market for those PCB's it's enough to find sources for those

It's really easy to send a PM.

On the Top right corner of the page there's your nick name, next to it there's an envelope symbol, press it, then choose "Start a new conversation"
Easy enough

Hmm.. My subscription may not allow me to do that..
Is there another way to contact you?

You probably can't start conversations (messages) at the moment because you are a very new member and because you have a low post count.

I sent you a message, check if you received it

Hello everyone, I am actually on the same project.
I read and followed your advance, for my part the board don't going in the rack, it's still too large. did you cut the down (right side) of the board too?
Thank you.

Hi Didier, can you tell what is the side of your and if you cut also the over side of the board? thank you.

I just cut the PCB in 1 place, exactly as it shows in the photos.
on the other side you have the Fader, which I removed, and you have to cut the Metal front plate in the channel fader section to make it shorter.
