Microphone Pre Amplifier 9 12Volt Discrete

Microphone Pre-Amplifier 9-12Volt Discrete This is a microphone pre-amplifier ambit that use detached components. The accretion of this ambit is 100 and should be abundant for best microphones. It is set by the arrangement of the 10k resistor to the 100R. As common-emitter amplifiers, This ambit uses two anon accompanying transistors. Here is the schematic diagram of circuit: Please agenda that this ambit has no bent voltage source, so you can’t use with condenser blazon microphones. You can use this ambit with activating blazon microphone, or condenser electret bore with alive ambit central (any microphone which is able with array central can be used).

Hofner Colorama II restoration project part 9 fixing up the tremolo unit

The tremolo arm on our vintage Hofner Colorama II is supposed to be held on with a type of thumb wheel screw, but that’s obviously been lost at some stage and the remaining stud/screw had been hammered down to act like a rivet and hold the tremolo arm on, irreversibly damaging it (the stud) in the process: The tremolo unit has already been removed from the guitar, but can be disassembled further by removing the big screw holding the arm lever on: Here's what we're left with: I've previously drilled into the stud to remove the arm, and the remaining stud has to be unscrewed as it is completely destroyed. That can be forced out with a pair of mole grips (vise-grips), by turning it in an anti-clockwise (counter clockwise) direction: There's quite a bit of rust on both this part and the tremolo unit itself, so a wire brush is used to remove it: I'm also rounding the front end of the lever, since it was originally square in shape and was catching on and damaging the trem...
