Hello! I found this forum while searching for information on repairing an Edison C-19 that was given to the theater I work at.
I have already found a service manual and instruction book on-line and managed to ascertain that one of the springs was broken. I got what was left of the old one out without any surprises, although the students said that with all the protective gear I was wearing I looked more like a bomb disposal tech than a repairman. I've got a new one on order.
In any case, I'll probably be bothering you with questions again and I appreciate any help you may be able to provide - and feel free to correct any incorrect terminology I may use. I'm only just getting the hang of what all the parts are called, and I'm not used to working on audio equipment of quite this age.
So, opening question - is there any non-obvious thing I really should know about before getting stuck in? I know the springs are out to get me, I'm looking for more subtle new kid mistakes.
Oh, and while perusing the "odd things found in your machines" article I was glad to find that I was not the only person to find vintage pornography tucked in the recesses of their new machine.
