This DLA was accepted as partial payment towards a new DLC mixer. The serial number on this mixer places its production sometime around the middle of 1988. The mixer was in working condition but needed attention before I would offer it for sale on e-bay. The mixer was shipped to Buzzy Beck for a complete evaluation and rebuild. As most people know Mr. Beck is one of the last original USA Bozak repair engineer and designer of many products including the original 1983 Bozak HB series mixer. All of Mr. Beck's total rebuilds as the photos show include disassembling and then complete rebuilding from the ground up.
Cosmetically the mixer has normal age and discoloration but is still in very nice shape.
このDLAは、新品のDLC ミキサーへの支払いの一部として受理されました。このミキサーにあるシリアル番号によると、1988年の中頃に生産されたものになります。このミキサーは稼動はしますがEbayに出展する前にいくつか注意事項があります。このミキサーはBuzzy Beckへ徹底評価のために発送され、復元されたものです。Beck氏は多くの方がご存知のように、アメリカに存在する最後の元祖Bozak修理工で、1983の Bozak HBシリーズミキサーを含む多くの商品の設計士でもあります。Beck氏による復元模様は、解体を含み、完全に復元するまでを写真でごらんいただけます。
外観的には、ミキサーは通常の範囲の老化と色落ちが見られますが、非常に良い状態です。
You can see from the photos nearly all lettering are in excellent condition.
Because of the pilot lamp being replaced and enlarged at one time the faceplate was replaced with an Original component. A New Old Stock pilot lamp was then installed on the panel to maintain originality. All knobs are original and cleaned and have new replacement tops on any that needed cosmetic attention. The rear chassis RCA connectors have all been replaced and updated with new original factory riveted style Gold RCA phono jacks. The transformer is rebuilt and the power cord as with all rear wiring and panel capacitors are new.
ほとんど全てのレタリングが素晴らしいコンディションであることを、写真からご覧いただけます。
表示灯が取り替えられ、拡大されたフェースプレートはオリジナルの物と取り替えられたからです。新しいOld Stockの表示灯は、オリジナリティを維持する為にパネルにインストールされました。全てのノブはオリジナルで、きれいにされ、外観的な手入れが必要なものは新しい交換部品をつけました。リアシャーシRCAコネクターは、全て交換され、オリジナル工場のリベットスタイルGold RCA ジャックの最新式にされました。変圧器は、リビルドされ、電源ケーブルのように、全てのリアワイヤーとコンデンサ盤は新品です。
There were 2 small holes drilled on the rear chassis where someone was possibly going to add extra jacks but those holes are now covered as you can see with the Buzzy Beck name plate riveted to the rear panel. The top and bottom covers are original and in good shape.
This is an honest evaluation of the physical characteristics of the mixers appearance so you will know exactly what you are receiving. This evaluation has no concern on the audio reproduction ability of the mixer. The photos were taken with the attempt to show any flaws so nothing is hidden from your physical evaluation.
リアシャーシに、だれかが予備のジャックを追加する目的で空けたと思われるドリルの穴が２つありましたが、今は、リアパネルにBuzzy Beckのネームパネルが釘付けされているのが見て頂けるように、カバーされています。トップと底のカバーはオリジナルで、良い形状です。
これは、ミキサーの外観の物理的特性の正直な評価ですので、あなたは何を受けとるか正確に知ることができます。この評価は、ミキサーの音声再生方法は考慮に入れられていません。写真はいかなる傷も見えるように取られているので、あなたに物理的評価をしていただくうえで隠していることは何もありません。
As I stated earlier the mixer electronically was received in good working condition. All cards that were in the mixer were in proper working order and none of the pots exhibited any major wear signs. There was tarnish on some of the shafts that may have been present from the environment it was in at one time. None the less all controls were professionally ultrasonically cleaned with special chemicals and then tested before being re-used. This process is the only way a sealed control like the Allen/Bradley balance potentiometers and microphone gain controls can be cleaned and lubricated for extended life.
最初に述べたように、ミキサーは電子的にはきちんと作動する状態で受納されました。ミキサーにおける全てのカードは正常に作動できる状態であり、どのポットにも大きな消耗のサインはありませんでした。かつての環境によるものであると思われるシャフトの変色があります。それでもなお、全てのコントロールは専門的に、超音波的に、特別な薬品で手入れをされ、その後再使用の前にテストされました。この過程は、Allen/Bradleyバランスポテンショメーターとマイクロホンゲインコントロールのようなシールドされた制御装置の寿命を延ばすために手入れし、潤滑する唯一の方法です。
The Master Volume, Monitor Level, and Input channel potentiometers are the Black Alps RK40s that were also ultrasonically cleaned before reassembling.
All audio signal path toggle switches were replaced and newly rewired. The Cue switch is tight and reinstalled with all original factory wiring. The Power Supply card was upgraded with Vishay 125 degree 4000 and 8000 hour premium capacitors and the regulator has the later style service upgrade ultra heat sink. The Audio cards are completely recapped and have the 28db upgrade modification as well as critical resistor circuit tolerances changed from 5% to 2% for better channel balance accuracy.
The Tone, Summing Amp, Microphone, and Phono cards are all upgraded with premium components as well as Vishay quality axel capacitors used where the signal path is present. The Tone Control Boards are original New Old Stock components with original New Old Stock Allen/Bradley potentiometers. Many of the original New Old Stock parts are made available from Mr. Beck’s huge ownership of Bozak original factory Inventory.
This unit was completely checked, tested, and set to original factory specifications. All factory DL series mixer service upgrades have been performed on this mixer by Mr. Beck. The cost of original and replacement parts plus the labor charge alone is more than the price of the mixer, dated back in 1988. If you do not need all the extra inputs or outputs that the DLC mixer offers then this is the perfect mixer for your application. The mixer is in its original configuration of 2 Phono, 4 Auxiliary and 2 microphone channel inputs. The rear panel has the factory RCA loop jacks and toggle switch along with all standard output connectors.
Any of the Phono channels can be converted to Auxiliary use and any Auxiliary channels can be converted to Phono inputs. Any modifications, changes, or services you may want to make in the future would be offered to you by Mr. Beck providing you are the original owner and no alterations were made to the mixer. The Bozak mixer is most likely the best Analog mixer ever created and this unit will undoubtedly provide service for many years to come.
All Cards And Internal Workings May Have Replacement Or Upgraded Parts Including But Not Limited To, Resistors, Diodes, Transistors, Capacitors, And Small Parts To Assemble Unit And Restore Original Specifications.
