I think I might write an entire piece around the SSL variations of switches, routing cards, and eq/dyn cards.
Two days in, and I'm 16 of 138 routing cards complete.
Glad to see the back of those bastard isostats!

Anthony.

No pin numbers on the card connector artwork. One of the best things SSL ever did!

Ah yes, I still plan to put the numbers on. Made that mistake on the first revision of my 242 boards.
Not so much a problem for new, working cards, but essential for troubleshooting

I know and I said, I'd only ever do this once, but looks like the next stage is upon me.
Expanding to a 4048E.

Most frame and wiring parts are already in hand. Once done I'll be on the lookout for more modules.

Anthony.

Lots of wiring done.

Additional patchbays for the 651 are arriving in a few hours, then the work will start on those.
I'm shifting the current 1-24 BICC looms over to service 25-48, and wiring new 1-24 looms.
New MRACs and a new power distribution as well.

Thanks Simon for all the loose parts. It's been a challenge to reconstruct this console.

Jim - I found the documentation for the DL31,32,33 and should be right now.

651 patchbays complete.
I'm going to use lacing for the incoming looms - first attempt ever, but think it will be well worth it for neatness.

Lacing completed. Did not take long and well worth the effort!

is there an advantage of lacing over just using cable ties ?

Hi Matt,
It's a good point.
This is the first time I have done lacing, and I'll say that I immediately prefer it over cables ties.
The finish is much neater, and it takes less time to do. Cost wise, seems about the same.
Plus, you don't have the annoying cable tie locks snagging on anything when you draw the loom through the frame.

Jim would be the best person to give an opinion here, but in summary, it is now my preferred way to manage cables.

Anthony.
