about to start a recap job and rechip on a trident 80B console that sat unused for over 10 years in a studio and is the room is now being Refurbished to be used again. It was never covered or anything. As it currently stands right now the 80B does power up and passes signal on mic and line to the stereo buss(remix) but I am noticing that none of the auxes work on any channel, input or monitor. and none of the busses work on the input channels.
I am assuming the fault with the auxes lies down in the master aux sends part of the monitor module. It does have burned, discolored traces that are not making contact all the way through. Meaning I can see where the trace is supposed to have run, it's just not passing continuity. The aux masters did have blown caps as well. However I can use the talk back to go out the auxes and measure that at the aux sends on the patchbay. So does the talk back bypass all of that and go directly to the output at the patchbay?
As for the multitrack buss I am just stumped. I've noticed what appears to be inserts across the multi track busses. This based on the patchbay labels. Maybe it's as simple as the normals are not working in the patchbay? hmmmmm.
