  1. So many threads are helpful, but Jim is right, you have to find them. Welcome and it is good to have tech on board.
  2. The printing idea is a solid one. I still don't think like that. In my mind, someone would be machining such a beast at tremendous cost.
  3. Rebecca,

     

     I would be interested in the Carver C-9 unit FOR $100 + SHIPPING if it is still available. LMK, how you would like to be paid. Here is my shipping address:

    GREG PEYTON

    235 N. INGALLS ST.

    POWELL, WYOMING

      Hello Greg, 

      Thanks for you interest in the C-9 below is a link of images of the unit for you. I'll try to get to the storage unit later this week so I can weigh it and give you and estimate on the shipping cost.

      For payment PayPal is best for me it's with my email address. cicadianrhythm@gmail.com

      Thank you, Rebecca

      Rebecca,

       

       I know that you are busy with everything and so don't worry too much about everything. FWIW, the unit weighs in at about 3 pounds if that helps you, and likely shipping will not be very much as it isn't a large box.

       

       LMK when you need payment and how much and I will immediately send it per PP.

       

       Regards, Greg

  4. Now we just have to ask... What came first, the ball or the crotch?
  5. Do have an interest for this upgrade? I can more or less of a rebuild depending on your budget/expectations. The least expensive rate would be at $100.
  6. Why does this remind me of drug dealers. C'mon kid, the first one is free.
  7. Hmm, that does happen from time to time. Just packed up the other C-9 today for shipment to Texas. I believe that I have just enough stuff to do another.
  8. Don't be disheartened Bob. We are working on a solution for natural stupidity. It is called, um wait, what's the word for that?
  9. From Kindergarten through 4th grade, we were using the same soggy straws and the planet just got worse from there.
  10. Welcome Ben, Always good to hear a story like that. What might help is for you to pop the top and show some good photos. That isn't automatically part of troubleshooting, but you are going to be headed there any way. I can't be certain, but we have a fairly extensive set of service manuals at this site and so that is a good place to start. You will meet some folks here that know a thing or two about this gear.
  11. I'll be dammed. It was Montgomery Ward 'Airline'. I don't remember it.
  12. Sears Silvertone, Montgomery wards *****, I forget, and RCA Victor's Golden Throat. We had a Magnavox.
  13. Welcome. Yes, the Stereophile/Carver challenge was a head turner for a lot of us. Not that there weren't really cool products, but more than a few were not going to be owned us anytime soon. I owned some the others and I have owned some of the Carver. I am still stricken by what I have heard from the one Carver A220 that I owned. It wasn't Carver's top model or anything, yet there was an undeniable clarity that, if I hadn't already committed to a year long amp project, I still would have the Carver without a second thought.
  14. Thanks for finding us. And you know, pop the top of that unit and take some in focus photos. We have a library of service manuals that may be of great help. What level of electronics experience do you have?
  15. I see it most mornings at coffee. The Town Cryer Gang comes in and buys a cup of coffee each. Stays for an hour shouting in 'conversation' over each other while we wince.
  16. I went into MacDonalds looked at the kid behind the counter and asked, "Who is the clown in charge here?"
  17. Well that does it, I'm screwed. I totally get the connection, but the math thing is my curse in life.

    Silver BIllD C-1 with Gundry

    You are fortunate to have one of these units. Dennis is a fine tech and has helped me several times over the years with my work. So, I am sure that there is a lot of work besides the Gundry circuit, but in itself this circuit provides some EQ that gives the illusion of being further back in the music hall, say row 7 instead of front row in some cases. Mostly the effect improves upon a recording that might be just short of harsh, in your face, or overly bright. That is one takeaway of this circuit. If I knew more, I would say, because there is more to it than this. I have used them in C-9 units and some like it, while others don't bother with it. That is why I made it switchable. Do a search here for Gundry circuit to learn more about this filter.
  19. No fair Bobby, with people like me, you gotta point out the punch line. The price maybe?
  20. Maybe it is better to know what frequencies that rubber vs cork attenuate/control. What comes to mind for me is a rolled-on coating that can be built up by coats on two different opposing surfaces giving you constrained layering (the same idea as cork or rubber). I would venture a guess that the two slabs being used for this be of two different thicknesses. This is a subject that has always been of interest to me.
  21. It's a good question. Personally, I have never had any objections to the C-9 to begin with, hence my love affair with it for decades. Let's go this way--- buy one get one keep one, or return one for your money back. That has been my policy from the beginning and if I haven't misspoken, it is the Carver way as well. You be the judge, you decide. >>> So as I queried before, can these be preordered?<<<
