Else you could contact @simonstav who has new buffered VU boards available that would suit these.
Are these the ones that were for sale in South Korea?

4K,6K,8K Series / SSl Vu meters
« Last post by Forrhouse on March 22, 2023, 09:22:03 AM »I purchased some VU meters. I think they were from an SSL C100.
The VU Meters themselves are the same as used on the later SSL 4000s, but I know that the driver cards on the back of the VU metrs are not.
See picture of the driver card below. I'm assuming that I can NOT use these driver cards with the SSL 4000s 82E237 Meter distribution Card?
Am I correct?
Thanks,
Eric

Working through the E10 slowly. It's a bit more difficult as some modifications are needed for the THAT2181 VCAs (DBX 2151 are obsolete), and I'm also trying to find a suitable replacement for the AD536 which is also obsolete and hideously expensive for "new old stock".

There are a few more, particularly 681 cards for the 6K and some G ones (group and logic), so I should add those soon.

« Last post by MarconeMusic on March 20, 2023, 11:56:35 AM »Interesting.
I’m loading 2 consoles with 8 of them quite shortly.
I’ve had the different experience on our side.
Lots of asks on the website. 242 are just so common.
Either way. It’s not my main focus. It’s a new item for us.
Currently our replacement larc for the lexicon is a big item that’s been kicking off.
I didn’t know you had made these. Neat! Got a website?

Duality,AWS,Matrix / Buying used AWS900+ in 2023
« Last post by gertius on March 20, 2023, 08:42:35 AM »Hi guys,
There are two AWS900+ (from 2006) on the used market near my location on offer for 20k EUR right now.
I was wondering about the implications of buying the AWS used.
Have been reading around GS for some time and have found statements that the AWS is not being supported by SSL anymore, there are hardly any spareparts and SSL won´t release the documentation to fix it yourself.
This looks really grim. With a little bit of bad luck you might have gotten yourself a 20k EUR paperweight. On the other hand the offer is very attractive to get an SSL.
What is your take on this? Have you had any repair experience with the AWS that went well? Or technical info beyond the block diagram?
In theory, even SMD can be soldered/fixed with the right info, no?
Also, would the analog part of the AWS still work if there is an error on the digital side, like the recall or automation systems?
What if the computer wouldn´t boot anymore, would the analog part still be usable on it's own?
Thanks!

Nearly all interest is exclusively the 242 EQs.
