Hello Inmates! I have had an original ServoStatik for a few years, and used it quite regularly for awhile. Unfortunately the high end on one of the panels went out not too long ago. It didn't just cut out immediately - the high end volume level on the bad panel got lower and lower until one day it stopped. The orange light still comes on. Mid-range still sounds excellent. Luckily I found a slightly beat-up spare panel on eBay at the beginning of the pandemic, so I can use this for practice. Its high end is suffering the same fate - about halfway gone now. I'm no EE but I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, so I want to try repairing the spare panel and if that goes OK I'll repair the nice one. I don't have a schematic but it looks like there are a couple of easy-to-reach transformers that are obvious candidates for replacements. There are what appear to be some resistors and small capacitors that are coated with some sort of wax, hopefully I can avoid dealing with this. If anyone has any suggestions on how to proceed with troubleshooting, or maybe even a schematic, please let me know. It looks fairly straightforward though. The image URL should have the two photos showing the electronics, and I attached one of them to this message. Thanks! |
