Time for a break...

Hello everybody!
I was hoping to avoid this situation but the studio, a large purchase (to be announced, I hope) and a crazy personal life is forcing me to take a short break from this blog. I expect to be back in the new year with the rest of the console, a resolution to the EMT140, and something new. I just don't have enough time in the day to keep you all as updated as I would like.
Thank you for reading so far and I'll catch you on the flipside of the new year!

Here's a little preview to tide you all over... Oh! And don't drink too much warm milk while I'm gone like snuffy did.

In NYC!

Hey all! So it seems that there will be no post today! I am currently in New York city to check out a piece of gear. I will give you all a huge post on Thursday to make up for this one!

Studer 903A Restoration: Master Section Pt. 2

Some thoughts on my way home tonight...
Life takes interesting turns, doesn't it? 4 years ago, I would never have believed that I would be where I am now. It can be a real eye-opener to look back at the things that you didn't have before, the things that are no longer yours, and the things you may lose or gain in the future. Although it can be exciting, depressing, or just different, it is always scary.
This studio project has represented a lot in my life. It is truly amazing to have a real love for something and I have found incredible freedom in saying 'fuck it' and throwing myself out there in the face of failure. I highly recommend it. Although I have a great deal of hope that this work-intensive project will be successful, I feel solace in the fact that I can only try my best and what happens, happens.
Sometimes, you just have to trust yourself. 

Part 2! Did I mention there are 3 parts? There are 3 parts. This is the 2nd part... of 3.

This module is the main monitor section for the console. It allows you to select from a number of monitor sources as well as control monitor pan, monitor volume, mono, etc. The monitor selectors control relays on circuit boards under the desk (see the dreaded eurocard section).
