Hi all,

anyone have schematics for Astor A2 or B2 preamps / distribution amps and any info on sound / usefulness?

Cheers

An Astor turned up on ebay last week, with a suggestion that there might be more. As far as I could tell, it didn't sell. Were you the seller by any chance?

the astor that was on ebay last week was actually a distribution amp even though it was listed as a mic preamp (it had 5 transformer based outputs and 1 transformer based input). Useful little things that pop up now and again the output transformers are astors and the input tx looks like something similar to an AWA but I'm not sure. The output tx's aren't 600:600 though but can be used in other situations.

Reason I'm asking is I saw some older posts relating to A2 pres and B2 distro amps (think someone was building a summing mixer out of B2 parts) and there was talk of schematics.
