[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 375, member: 8"] I own four Countryman 85, three were bought new, one used. The new ones are ten years old, the used one is five. I also own four Whirlwind Director single channel DI's, all bought used. After a gig last weekend where some signal path problems were discovered and C.A.T.(Combat Audio Techniques) were employed, I have been running through the gear used to isolate the problems 100%. First, one of my Countrymans has developed intermittent signal problems due to the cracked internal circuit block, shown in the photos below and attached: [IMG]http://www.soundforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=338&d=0[/IMG] I'll be contacting them about a replacement part shortly. I also had a problem I thought I had corrected with one of the Whirlwind DI's, thanks to a little schematic help from Mr. Keltz himself. However, I discovered after buying some more from my local dealer and friend, that I had missed that the green lead from the transformer had been broken off almost inside the can. Another email to Mr. Keltz, and a replacement transformer is on it's way. I wanted to thank him today here in public for some great service on a Whirlwind product that I bought used, and discovered that the previous owner had mucked around with(the broken green lead was not the only thing messed up in this DI), and Mr. Keltz promptly and personally handled. It's certainly one reason I own those DI's and a Medusa snake. Best regards, John PS. As pointed out on another DI thread somewhere by Mac Kerr, the phrase Bogen used is one I will pay heed to more: ''Assume Nothing'', and pre gig double checking will have to be more stringent [/QUOTE]
