Phonetic

Was lucky enough to cop a LE DX version when Hard To Find Find Records where selling them all cheap at £399 new To be honest Phonetic I wasn't going to bid on it, just had it on my watch list for purely for curiosity to see what it would go for. But as the days passed it sat on £500 with no bids, it wasn't till the last 24 hours that someone finally put a bid in which is when I thought it might heat up in a bidding war. I was at work at the time of auction and was watching it in the final hour when I noticed no one was bidding on it, was a minute to go and it was only on £510 so I put in a bid in and the rest is history as they say. Thats cool man. I would of love to have a bid on that but was/is a bit skint right before christmas. Plus the missis would of killed me for spooging so much money on a toy for myself haha

Sweeeet. On the DL now

No way, I had that in my watch list! Couldn't believe it went so cheap. The last one of them on there sold for like £1200 or something

Big ups Dan. T'was a dope track

Hehe. Have you not seen the John Manship video I posted last week Phonetic ? http://www.digitalvertigo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=40380 Stickers on Northern Soul 45's...Bad,bad,bad ! I'm actually quite surprised that old John is even making any videos at the moment as I would have thought he'd be far too busy kicking his cat through the television screen over missing out on the Frank Wilson 'Do I Love You' acetate record !... Haha yeah thought as much

If he wanted to keep with the vinyl he could always sticker mark the cue points. Obviously might not wanna put stickers on your rare northern soul but its an option

Was saving my vote for myself to try steal a last minute victory from Dan haha But I can't knock it. Dan's track was just dope. Kinda sounded like a live band to me. All good entries but credit where its due as per

Thanks man, thats a lovely comment

Here we go Totally ran out of time on this. Would of liked to arrange it better but hay ho. Its the taking part that counts

Panicked when I turned it on today & there was a noticeable hum coming from the right channel. T'was just the ground wire though, phewww Its still working a treat though. Tested it with Traktor now too. My old teacher Mr Thomas would be proud haha Again, thanks for everyone's input on this Big ups!

Was quite an easy fix so I suppose I'm kinda lucky really. Those diodes were incredibly cheap. And to think the only repairs place that actually got back to me quoted at least £30 just for having a look! Everything works a like a charm. Thanks to everybody that helped in this thread

Boom!

Nice one chief. Ordered. With a bit o' luck that'll be my problem sorted. I'll update after Ive attempted the repair. Mucho grasias guys!

How about these bad boys? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MUR160-DIODE-SUPER-FAST-600V-1A-DO41/201622622902?hash=item2ef1a512b6:g:gaAAAOSwGiRTqU8A Seem to look the part

Just to check, the one JB posted shows 600v 1A, is that correct? Seen some on ebay for like 99p

I had another good look inside last night & everything else 'seems' to be fine. Sy, I think that stuff under the capacitors is the thermal paste/glue that Jam mentioned.... I think. The caps all look good so Im not gonna mess with them just yet. So gonna order myself a diode or two & get soldering!! Oooh its exciting init! Thanks for all the help so far youze guyz

I was trying to find the schematic but with no luck. Thanks for that man,

Wow, thats really cool. I love his Neva Done EP Im sure you've seen this before buts its still dope

As if his email is Chocolate boy wonder haha Thats too dope!! I friggin love Pete Rock. Id of been well chuffed! You shoulda invited him to the forum!

Signed up with Imgur now, worked a treat. Ta

Big upseys to everyone for the education on pic uploading too! Im proper thick when it comes to computer stuff

Ok,if these images worked ok then you should be able to see what I mean... Looks to me like the (Diode maybe??) has popped apart. Its located right next to the power input so my crazy logic tells me thats the bit that overloaded?

For reals? Thats cool. How did you know it was actually him if you don't mind me asking?

Lovely stuff! Im down for a bit of this On the DL riiiight now
