Hi
I recapped one a couple of years ago. The 'simple' way is to pull the bottom off and cut the bus wires so you can get the strips out. Then 'stitch' it back in again after (use bits of wire a bit longer than what you cut so you can get good solder joints). As I did the whole desk it was quite easy with it balanced on it's left end cheek. For a few moments converting it to a connectorised version were contemplated, but swiftly rejected on cost grounds as with a bit of dexterity you can actually fault find and replace some parts 'in situ'. You might even be able to replace pots or switches if you strip the faceplate from 'the top'.

Hi Jack,

Is your console the totally "hard wired" version? First off, all Series 1s are NOT like this, many are truly modular. I've not had the pleasure of working on one like yours, and can't imagine how it would be done. I have a pile of modules cut out of an S3 that were all connected by dozens of "buss" wires between each one. I had NO idea how one would go about working on one of these consoles. So, I'm in awe of you for even attempting this and would be very interested in looking at the photos of the job.

Regards, Jim
