Hello all,

 

I just acquired a Carver stack (M1.0t - inverting, C-1, and TX-11a) and am looking forward to getting them all up and running, and perhaps modded as well (definitely the BillD mods to the C-1).  I normally hang out over on AK, as I have only had one piece of Carver gear in years past, MX-130 which I was able to bring back to life after reflowing numerous solder joints, but sold it while I was out of work.  I've repaired lots of different brands and types of equipment, though I can't do full testing of things, so I'm ceertainly not a true tech, but I do have good soldering/desoldering equipment, cheap component tester,  several DMMs, and a decent parts inventory.  The M1.0t was listed as non-working, and that's what I just opened up yesterday to see if it was anything obvious.  I suppose I should start a thread over in the Amp section of the forums with the info, so I guess that's all for now for this thread.  Just wanted to say Hi and give a little background of what I may (or may not) be able to handle whilst doing the work.

 

Guess I'll need to wait to rank in order to start a thread....😉

Welcome to the Carver site. Lots of us are not true techs but still enjoy working on our stereo equipment

Hi John and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us!

 

Congrats on getting the MX-130 going and sorry that you had to let it go. Good luck with the C-1 and M1.0t.

Thanks all, and for the link.  When I went to Browse...Forums it took me to the landing page for newbs.  Perhaps I looked in the wrong place.

Welcome to the Carver Site, fellow North Carolinian.  I'm from Charlotte.

 

I'm curious... did you get your gear off FB Marketplace?  I've been following a set of gear listed there that matches the 3 units you picked up.  I almost picked it myself.  But,  I'm currently overrun with gear already...... and, other than knowing I got a good deal, I would have had no need for it.

 

You'll get lots of help here to get your m1.0t up and running.  Enjoy!

Yes.    I'd been watching prices of C-1s (the real reason I wanted it) on CL, eB, and elsewhere....and since prices have gotten somewhat out of control, I thought it was a good deal for all 3.  I figured that if all else failed, and I did the BillD mods to the C-1, I could certainly recoup the costs.  IF i can get the M1 up and running, it's a bonus!

Well, if you got the set I was looking at, you got a great deal!  Enjoy it! 

 

I always watch the Charlotte area for deals on FB, ebay, and Craiglist, etc.  I have been able to source most of my gear from around here... when you do that, you can avoid shipping charges, which can really add a lot to the costs.  There are a couple area stores I frequent, too, which sometimes have good deals on used equipment... like Repo Records.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome! The nice thing about all the gear you mentioned is that it's fully serviceable and restorable for a lifetime of enjoyment. I'm looking forward to following your progress.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
