Turtlerock Forum

hi all,

Does anyone have a recommendation for a tech, specifically a Neve tech, who'd be capable of converting an ailing VR into a 24ish channel tracking/summing solution? Basically keeping 2 buckets and the centre section and recapping the best of the existing channels.

If so...please make your recommendations! I appreciate it might be a crazy daft idea, and financially impractical...but I'd like to know for certain (it's not MY crazy daft idea!).

Cheers!
Adrian

Rob @ Pro Harmonic would be my first choice.

well check the technicians part of the forum but that sounds like a serious job.
Rob Squire would be my first port of call and if he wasn't available he would be a good source of advice.
You're going to want good advice before you proceed.

Where is the console located?

Console is in Sydney...and yes it's likely to be a big job!

I'll follow up those leads, thanks guys!

yes, it is a big job!
I know the Neve VR series well ... lots and lots of capacitors in those and if it hasn't been recapped it will seriously need it. They also suck a lot of power and so you'd need one original powersupply unit to run two buckets and a master section. It is certainly do-able, shoot me an email for the fine print!

Hi Adrian
Rob is awesome but over in Adelaide.
Greg Cameron is another option and he's in Sydney. PM me for his contact.

cheers
