[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 149037, member: 32"] Re: Replacing/duplicating a Meyer analog processor? FTFY. Meyer doesn't recone drivers, period. The cost for them to recone a driver, put it through the same testing as a new unit and still have it (potentially) fail is more expensive than manufacturing a new one, especially if it does fail. This is why there are also no recone kits available - no one in the field can put them through the testing that Meyer does. But you can absolutely get replacement driver units for unpowered UM. OTOH, I believe they may still accept trade-ins on HF driver units for credit towards a new one. If you're ever in the SF Bay area and have several hours to burn, set up a tour of the Meyer facility. The driver manufacturing and QC line alone is worth it. To the OP: Simon, the sense lines are what make the old analog processors unique - replicating them is a difficult process, and you still may not get the same results as the original analog processors. At that point you'd be better served picking up more M-1A processors used, even if you have to send them back to Meyer for service. Which, if you have any questions about the functionality of your existing processors, Meyer WILL service them. [/QUOTE]
