I had an old WBS 60-12 input transformer with tails too short to re use. so I opened it up. After desoldering the bottom cap, I cut the shell open. I’m sure if I heated up the wax it would have dropped out, but I had no intension of getting it out and re-using it.
Here is my newest piece of kit for the adapter box. I designed this for RRCS.
Made of Mogami 4 pair, high quality expandable sleeving and Neutrik Connectors
Everything is paralleled to everything making it a 4 in 1 adapter

Doing a migration from one computer to another I’ve lost my ability to licence a software a really enjoyed. Bias Peak and Bias Sound Soap. Their licensing server has been shut down and I cannot authorize it. I understand there are downsides to dongle licensing, but in this case I think it would have saved my tool.
I say boo to bias being gone, but boo to a bad licensing system.
I was looking thought my archive and found this. It’s a programming sheet for an AMS RMX-16 delay unit. I think we have the scanning wands somewhere…
I doubt this would ever work as the JPEG compression would really mess with the integrity of the bars and spaces
Here are some WBS manuals that have been consolidated. Their Functional Diagrams, Layouts have been preserved but the details are no longer with us. A “vanilla” complete copy of the console / communication system have been archived and will soon be scanned for the archive…
Thanks to Matt Rideout for the help!
In a pinch today I learned that thumb nuts from a Shure SM7B can replace the missing nut of an RCA 77DX.
I’m looking into a replacement for the missing 77 nut this week… not going to pay the 110$ AEA wants… 12-40 thread I think…
I recently acquired a new computer and have begun the “Migration” from old to new. I know it’s not a quick process (600+ Gb from machine to machine) but by my math this estimation, using FW800, was WAY OUT. The problem turns out that the computer was going to sleep during this migration!! Why the HELL would it do such a stupid thing? There were no options for sleeping as it’s a fresh install. Shame on Apple.
After three failed attempts, I had to find a solution to me sitting at two idle computers for 8 hours.
AND HERE IT IS!
(standby for video)
I needed to be able to leave it also… so in an audio Macgyver moment of desperation I turn to my biggest fan. The cable for the Trackball is moved by an oscillating fan. The headphones are on top of an upside down trackball, this and the duct tape give the trackball some weight to push on the keyboard (for computer 1) the movement also pushes a button on a Magic Trackpad (computer 1)
so far attempt number four is going smoothly (knock on wood)
I like this sign, but the best way to prevent an accident, like this one is exaggerating, is customer service.
if you have a console from 1985-1994 please let me know.. I may have the manual for your console. Please email me your console project number and serial number and I’ll see if I do. 
Dead dead dead
I once had a candle spill on a console. This was the result
I circled it in the 1997 Broadcast Technology Magazine (I was 14 years old) and this came in the mail
