Oh boy, LA2a’s. I’ve worked on so many of these over the years and they’re all a little different. This one needed a few audio path caps replaced and a few new tubes, but the big ish was the optical cell. It was slow and causing distortion. Fixing this one was impossible (a T4a, which is epoxied closed) but, even if you can get them open the electroluminescent panels are unobtainable (if you have a lead please DM!) and the photoresistors are hard to come by and harder to match. Kenetek makes a wonderful replacement part that’s incredibly affordableand totally rejuvenates the attack and release times of these vintage beasts.

This Echoplex EP-2 was in rough shape when it showed up, distorted and low volume even after replacing the tape cartridge, and tons of wow a flutter. This has been fully cleaned, recapped, oiled, and is ready to roll! I also modified the output, removing the fixed cable and borrowing the second input jack for better usability, especially when used for mixing rather than instruments.

Today on the bench, a Gibson EH-125 suitcase amp circa 1940’s. This has been cleaned up, recapped, fitted with a modern grounded power cable, and I added a volume control for the Instrument input (absent by design!). Tested all the tubes against NOS stock and the ones in the amp sounded just as good, amazing after 80ish years. Really cool sounding amp, the mic input is an additional gain stage before joining the instrument signal and makes for a great hi gain input for guitar.

Rehabing a Studer a80 24 track! This one is in pretty good shape, bearings all look good and the heads have plenty of life. There were a handful of dead channels that needed some new filter caps (see last pic!) but now it’s pulling into alignment and sounding GREAT.

Just finished this custom 24VDC power supply that’s going to be used to power an 80 series Neve console, replacing the working but tired PSU that the console came with. Fans are super quiet, and we added a crowbar circuit for over voltage protection.
Shoutout to @redcoaudio for the fantastic job on the metalwork for the chassis!

Fresh off the bench: ADR Compex F760X-RS compressor/expander.
These things are a beast. The alignment can take forever, and it’s fussy af. When they’re working properly it’s some of the finest compression available. This old soldier had all its capacitors and trim pots replaced, card connectors cleaned and refurbished, full alignment, and a new stereo input pot to boot. Needless to say, it’s sounding incredible and is on its way back home.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
