I haven't been here in a very long time. I used to peruse this forum everyday starting back when the G1176 was first started - before I started the "repost" thread on the new location/server. (Remember when we were kicked off that other one?!). Maybe some of the old timers here remember me. It's hard to believe this is going back 8 years ago. Anyway, I am getting to a point. I built two G1176 compressors - well, kind of. I finished one and it sounded great! I choose the input and output transformers option using Lundahls. Notice the word "sounded" , used two sentences back. I took it to a studio and the sun baked to top lid while in the car and heat transfer did the rest. It passes signal but very low. The other I started and never finished. I also bought two Neve 1081 projects with those really expensive Elgar? Potentiometers. I was doing pretty well with DIY considering I started from nothing. I didn't know what a resistor was but I went along a learned alot thanks to all the great people here. Mr. G himself mentioned my attempt to help people build thie G1776 http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/1176/1176.htm
Ok, here I am years later. I still love DIY and wish I had time to do this again but I just can't make the time. I have a daughter now 7 and my work load is 4 times what it used to be. I would love to do something with at least these two compressors which are sitting in a storage unit which, by the way, must be evacuated soon. So here goes the unthinkable question which is completely gainst the DIY spirit. Does anyone want to fix the one compressor and finish the other one? : Ofcourse for pay. Thanks for reading, high everyone, good to see its going strong.
