Hello Steve Whereabouts are you based? Also could you give me an idea of what you would consider a reasonable offer? Regards Richard ... Anyone want a set? I...
Hi everybody, this evening or tomorrow my ESL-57's will be brought back to me. Treble panels from PK, new EHT blocks and protection clamps (the latter from...
Hi everybody, my ESL-57s are here now, but unfortunately there is a big problem. I plugged them in and an appalling and strange smell filled the room. ...
Thrassyvoulos, Sorry to hear the bad news.. It is very hard to say what may be the cause of the smell. If the EHT board has no coating at all, it may be a...
Hi Yes you're right as far as I'm aware the epoxy ones are late fifties or early sixties. I have several pairs from all sorts of eras, but only one 1950s pair ...
Hello Just another thought it is posible the boards could have been sprayed with an epoxy like solution designed to stop EHT leakage, you'd be able to tell...
Thrassyvoulos, This is bad news.. It is very hard to say what may be the cause of the smell. If the EHT board has no coating at all, it may be a problem....
Hello group, I was a member some years ago as well as the 'hjleak' group, but left when the volume of emails became a little too great. I have re-joined the...
Thanks, Jay, the smell comes from only one of the speakers and it comes from the area of the EHT board and not from the area of the transformer. I'll meet the...
Thanks, Richard, the seller of the EHT boards told me they were not sprayed. One of the speakers only causes the smell and it comes from the area of the EHT...
Hi Richard: I'm in Arizona, USA - across the pond... I notice that you are in the UK from your E-Mail. I was hoping to get at least $75 for them and for the ...
Hello hrassyvoulos: I'm not sure why you would not connect the amplifier for 12 hours after the QUADS are plugged in. I never waited any time. Actually you can...
Hi, I am not sure what you call 'epoxy one' but i know that 1968 ESL's i have had black plastic EHT blocks filled with wax. A slightly later model has the same...
Hi Steve, ... I don't remember where, but I think I have read that playing music before allowing a significant period of time for charging could destroy the...
Hello Jeroen, ... have ... filled ... http://www.zone4.nl/?file=5995 This is it. ... of bees ... such, ... Thanks, but it now seems as if the *mains*...
Hi Steve Yes I suspected you were across the water. $75 would be an absolute bargain over here, but freight would be extremely high. Thanks. Richard ... Hi...
Hi Thrassyvoulos Just a thought are you sure the mains input to the EHT is set to the correct voltage. You will be bale to tell because if not it will probably...
Hello Richard, ... Thanks for the thought. My pair doesn't have the choice between different voltages. It is 220 volts and we have 230 over here. But they...
Hello The epoxy ones are exactly as the beeswax ones, but filled with epoxy and therefore not easily repairable. Richard ... Hi, I am not sure what you call...
Hello! The 909 (probably 707, too) seems to have similar muting transistors at the end of the balanced input. I can't tell what the effect would be to cut them...
Hello everybody, the reason for the smell has been found: a shorted coil in the mains transformer of one of the Quads, nothing wrong with the EHT boards from...
Hello group... I have recently purchased a QUAD 306 to companion my FM4 and 34, both early models finished in the familiar brown and silvered fawn. However, ...
To the best of my knowledge the 306 was only available in Grey which matched the grey 34 and FM4 of the time. There are also some grey din input 34 around ...
Hi Stuart, thanks for your reply...I was beginning to think that was the case as well, until the 5 units in question came onto eBay. Just out of interest, here...
For those of you that (like me) don't like the new Yahoo! e-mail format you can do something about it. To put Yahoo! back to the "traditional" e-mail format...
I mostly don't see the new format since it doesn't want to work with IE7 - but on one of my machines it works (as well as it seems to want to) even though that...
John, This "fix" is aimed at people that receive e-mails into an e-mail program like Outlook, Eudora, etc. If you access your e-mail via the web using a ...
