Dont know how much interest there is where you are, but there aren't that many in Australia, and people still want a fair bit for them. I converted one of mine to Digital, they are lot easier to do than all the metalwork and other days of stuffing around needed to convert a Berklee type box. (yes we do reuse the power supply and the central control computer in the conversion, because both are so reliable). Note that we have to use the power supply to get the 120v mains needed for the amp. Which fuses ? IIRC they only have them in the power supply, it should be dead easy to fix. It would be a fairly safe bet that it is a crook rectifier, as these PSU's have output shutdown protection if there is an overload anywhere in the machine outside the power supply. I can't remember which board the Eagle uses, but Early model power supplies (that have the external heatsink with 2 power transistors on them) use IN5408 diodes for a rectifier, where the later switchmode board uses a 35a bridge from memory. It is difficult to go into too much detail with these, as they are so reliable I have never had to do much in the way of repairs on them other than dry joints and sometimes bad connections on the harness to them. Only ever had one in an R86 (from R86 up to laserstar CD the power supply board was very similar, R84,5 was much the same circuit but a different PCB) do a "mystery" fuseblowing 20 odd years back, and after fuse replacement never gave another problem. This excludes man made faults from ones that I bought that others had "fiddled" with. |

Where do you get your digital conversion kits from? |

Where do you get your digital conversion kits from? Bought a commercial software / music package that is used by operators in Australia, and designed and built everything else in-house, converting various existing ROWE jukes - mostly CD 100 to a touch screen digital system. |
