Would you ask *them* what they use for a bathroom pass? I'd be interested in the results.

When we were in high school (long before) there were no "bathroom passes". Classes were 50 minutes with 10 minutes between. Young adults were expected to be potty trained.

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Nov 03 08:28AM Putting my deer-stalker hat on. Someone had been inside to replace the fuse. Left out some of the screws, including one self-tap that holds the IEC. If that one was previously missing and the IEC just "held" by the remaining one next to the TOP heatsink,loosened by repeated IEC insertions AND the sillypad was punctured or close to puncturing. Then the drummer tripped over the lead, IEC twisted and the IEC holding screw touched the heatsink, as it is long enough, then blown TOP244, but about 4mm gap to swing across to do so. But as there are no pcb standoffs to chassis in that area, relying on the IEC screws to chassis, then perhaps the whole pcb being tilted in a downwards sense, by drummer standing on the lead, and then only that arctan(2/20) 2mm gap for heatsink to contact chassis.

It uses an 8 pin DIL JRC2360 DC/DC converter, I think to generate the 48v phantom from the 15v DC input.   Anyway its busted, and an easy diagnosis because a bench supply input heats up this chip nicely. (The supplied SMPS wall wart trips out). In the old days, a fault with the phantomn power part of the PSU was very unlikely to render the whole mixer dead.   Cuh.         Gareth.

Looking a bit deeper into TOP24* datasheet. This PV14 has the 4 central pins connected together, 3 terminal device, which is over-voltage disabled mode. So what happens in mains dropout and reconnection scenario, as with drummer tripping over the mains lead and auto-restart on what it erroneously determines to be low mains voltage setting. Would probalistically be the same for those floppy 4-way plastic distribution sockets, breaking and making, blowing the supply, if this is a potential failure mode. 240V in the UK.

What is the cost of a new one? Was the customer ensured? What warranty do you offer on the repair?   Will it ruin the show if this speaker dies during a performance?   In short, while the repair was heroic, I would have turned down the customer, or at least informed of the risk of future failure.   Leif   -- Husk kørelys bagpå, hvis din bilfabrikant har taget den idiotiske beslutning at undlade det.

And yes, those things last long as artifacts.   There's a place here that looks like a parts store forty years ago. I'm not sure it's been in the same location all that time, but it's been around at least that long. Specializing in shortwave, it's an odd mix of parts and old equipment. And the window is wonderful, all kinds of old junk, including packaged parts from the old days.   Michael
