EQ/receiver hookup help!

[Superduper]

You don't wanna try this one Greg. You need to be well versed with both digital and analog circuits and this guy has a crapload of opamps. Even if you knew which chip was bad, it's very difficult to change them microchips. Btw, does this have a spectrum analyzer display and did it work in concert with the input?

Yeah I'll pass. Haha.

You bet your ass it had a spectrum analyzer display. And yes it did move in concert with the inputs. It was beautiful. My stoner friends used to love it. I loved it. I bought it when I was 16 or 17 and bought it mostly for the display. It was just cool. 27 bands of dancing magic.

I know right. I'm thinking about getting it fixed. Or getting another one off epay if it can't be fixed.

Hopefully it can be fixed…….
I just got the BSR EQ today for $60.00 for two units and it's amazing how much it adds to the sound of my system.

What ever happened to BSR? I used to buy some of their equipment from DAK(I'm going off memory here)! My first Subwoofer was a BSR 15" sub and later a stand alone BSR amp. This was back in the mid eighties.

 

[caution]

Haha skippy I have that EQ, bought it out of the DAK catalog back in the 80s, love it. I still have the remote, manual and white noise calibration mic. The one thing about it that I could never figure out was after being on for a long time the display would stop showing anything, even though you could see the tiny filaments glowing. Works fine otherwise.

Old skewl, I had to look it up, was curious myself, looks like the one division of BSR that didn't go bankrupt, Astec, moved from England to Hong Kong in the early 90s and probably designed the BSR stuff DAK sold.

Same name, different outfit. Birmingham Sound Reproducers built idler record decks - mostly changers - and open reel tape transports for the Thorn brands (Ferguson, Marconiphone and Ultra) as well as HMV, Margolin (Dansette) and other low end record players.
From what I've been able to find out, the outfit of the same name that made these spectrum analysers was based in Massachusetts and has no connection with the Worcestershire-based UK maker of the famously cheap transport mechanisms which, as you noted, later flitted to HK just before it ceased to be British soil.
