SSL 4000 E series Console, Restoration and Chop down Project

SSLtech · Mar 30, 2012

Yep they have a 4K, but the frame, PSUs and computer they BOUGHT is a 6k...

Don't have a pinout handy... but I think they will do. -You want me to ask and see?

Sorry for the delay in replying, I seem to have lost a month!! A belated thanks SSLTech and Sintech, Peter Duncan found me an external G keyboard that is now working after much scratching of the head plus a logic probe... The computer from Sintech's chop-down was minus the floppy card and therefore the keyboard interrupt was not being passed down the chain to the CPU.

I am now looking for a recall cpu and HRG card so that my students can experience the dizzy heights of Research Machines Hi Rez Graphics

Nielsk, If you haven't found the keyboard pinout yet I can buzz out my 9 pin lemo to dsub cable

Sintech, I have a fader bus card if you are still looking.

Recent progress: my plan is to expand the existing 10 channels with a fully featured, but modular centre section.

Add another bucket taking the console to 18 channels, keeping it all portable and flexible.

Type 26/27 card rack up, this gives the correct LF/RF summing amps, Bus Compressor and Master fader:

An SSLTech SSL 9k output card, does the program L/R outs (hiding at the back) This works very well.

Pre and Post VCA inserts

Wonderful gift from PaulFergy, thanks Paul

Side Profiles:

Collected Junk

Type 32 card clones x 2, needed to cover Stereo Cue and 4 mono Aux

Etch tank

Could you please send some pictures how to mount/fix armrest to the frame. It's the only thing left unfinished on my console

Thanks Drago
