Got my school book list. Does anyone know a good place to buy text books online? I would prefer both a paper and PDF version (to save my back)

WBS T1202A in for a cleaning
Dave got his hands a little dirty in the cleaning of a clients T1202A. Very good little task out of the way. While it was in I snapped a few pics for the archive :-) I would have named it a T1202C as it has C revision Modules…
Here is a link to the Ward-Beck Systems T1202A
Spectrafoo or Smaart?
I’m looking to invest in a mobile acoustic measurement software and am looking for opinions.
I’ve been playing with the Spectrafoo Demo and I must say it’s very impressive
http://mhsecure.com/metric_halo/products/software/spectrafoo.html and it’s very competitively priced. The Main thing appealing to me about foo is the “Transfer Function Measurement System” I became familiar with while using a SIM system… This to me is the most valuable feature.
Monster buzzword buzzword buzzword wire VS solder
We had a chunk on Monster Cable “Interlink Reference 2 High Resolution total bandwidth balance Audio Interconnect cable with Micro fiber” and a piece of solder in the shop… so we put them through the audio precision.
guess which one is the solder
Getting the WBS POD22s ready for installation
There is nothing like this meter on the market. It’s nice to have on the bench, excited to get them installed!

20130530 – new WBS Console Side Panels
There has been talks of 12 channel consoles being made so designs are moving from paper to cad… I’ve been dreaming up a new design of side panel that can lay flay or be stood upright using a support. The idea is to put them on an island in either upright or flat positions. The faders would be flat in the mix position, and angled in the upright position. The back interconnect would be all edacs.

20100424 – Roxanne – a WBS R1200 resto mod
One of my first ground up restores. This was a console with 12 Mic pre-amps, direct outs, summing and a monitor. It had a “Red Light” on the meter bridge… so I added a switch that said “POTRL” that “Put on the Red Light” and so it became “Roxanne” It’s still in use today but could use some tweaks I’ve learned from experience. We’re working on a very similar project right now, so It’s very cool to look back and learn.
The biggest lesson: it’s hard to put a value on a labour of love and curiosity, but bill accordingly.
New console vacuum
I got a new console vacuum today! Backpack Dayton 4TR09… and it kicks serious ass! I hate eBay… but this was the best $125 I’ve spent in a while

Hohner Bass 3 in for a tune up
My Brother sent me this flea market gem. The power on the schematic was wrong, a cap lead had come undone and it needed some TLC. The output is very low and I may build a little pre-amp for it…
