RAYTHEON RL-10

The tolerance for electrical-noise is low in the world of filmmusic (where I do most of my studiowork) so if I'm gonna use old equipment, then they need to be pretty clean sounding. The hum in my Raytheon RL-10 has been growing quite annoying, and therefore it hasn't been used much. So I gave it a shot. Here's some pics of how it came out. All the parts that could be changed, was changed with newer and better parts. The rotary switches was cleaned with a supersonic cleaner and all the cables was changed and got earth-shield. This was my first compressor-tubeunit repair project. The next time I work on it, I will hope to be skilled enough to swap tubes, and to improve the circuit. And not just swapping parts with newer ones. Ugh... so much to learn...
