[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 47763, member: 30"] Re: Blast from the past I used to have a couple of Kelseys. Totally agreed about the wire bussing and weird gain staging. THe solid bussing did keep the cards rigid and helped keep the boards from developing cracks around the pots, but getting a board out was a bit odd. I never removed the wires from the solder connections. Instead I just cut the wires inbetween the boards and then resoldered them when I had the problem fixed. I used extension cables that I soldered in place to troubleshoot the card when out of the board. You forgot about all the tantalum caps that were used that had a problem shorting. With some TLC and very careful gain setup they were "usable". My first monitor console was a 20 channel Kelsey from the 70's that was modified into a 20x6 monitor console. I did a good number of national acts with that console. But that was a number of years ago-no where near todays "standards". [/QUOTE]
