Re: [ARSCLIST] patchbay question

[Robert J Hodge <rjhodge@xxxxxxx>]

I have installed 3 of the ADC's and they are first class! Not
inexpensive , but worth every penny. I had the normals brought out to
the rear panel so setting them up is a snap as long as you have a punch
tool.

One thing about reusing " vintage " patch fields- I have found them to
be a little fussy and sometimes have intermittent normal throughs- even
after intensive disassembly, contact cleaning and polishing.  But their
price was right and I could live with their occasional fussiness.
Cleaning out all those solder holes was quite a task as none of then had
christmas trees.
