Members Weatherbox Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 I've got this old Soundcraft 200 series board that I like the sound of quite a bit, particularly as I can't afford anything that would be a step up. However, it's pretty "vintage" in the ebay sense of the term, and I'm imagining somewhere not too far off I'm going to want to clean it all out and get it fresh again. How hard is it for someone with very limited DIY experience (I've built guitars and wired some cables, that's about it) to go about this task? Anyone done it?

Members Sir H C Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 There are a lot of capacitors in there. Be ready to spend quite a bit of time if you want to do that. I don't remember if the 200 boards are double sided or not. The curse is to do it without pulling up traces from overheating. Might need a very good iron with a nice small tip to do it right. Wrong and you might just waste the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weatherbox Posted May 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Nice. I'd probably cook it. Guess I'll just keep turning the treble knobs higher and higher as the thing ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir H C Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Usually it is the low end that suffers as caps age, they don't let the lows through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
