Hello everyone. I’m learning electronics and look forward to your help.

Just closing this thread off. I ended up putting 5K faders and it sounds fine....

Hi - I am looking to replace faders on a mixing desk from the early 1980s. They are tired and worn. I'm new at looking at schematics and would really appreciate your help and expertise on replacements.

The current faders are 88mm long with 60mm fader movement and are 10K B (which I think is a linear fader). They have been swapped out at some point (tell tale signs of additional screw holes a few mms below the top screw hole).

I think the schematic suggests 5K B faders (but as a newbie I'm not sure if I am even looking at the correct part of the schematic!?). I have...

Hi everyone. I’ve joined badcaps as part of a learning journey. I came across this amazing resource via Richard’s Learn Electronic Repairs YouTube channel. I am at the very beginning and realise I have lot to learn. My interest has been ‘sparked’ trying to read and understand a schematic from a 1980s mixing desk. It is full capacitors, resistors, transistors and the like! I am wanting to build my knowledge with this hands on project and scaffold from their to repair or build other equipment. And in time...
