Pace MSS508-IP + Philips Gregorian dish.
being used mainly to drive the dish.
continues for a few seconds after the power is removed.
As I say it is an old system. Is it possible to still get the 508 repaired?
If so any suggestions as to where and who to contact would be appreciated. I live in the SW london area.
508 driving my existing dish (Philips Gregorian)?
Sounds like the power supply, it is repairable, I believe that they still do the kits at satcure, but the Technomate would be a good replacement.
As Rolf says, the technomates would be a good replacement. Obviously if you are not bothered about receiving analogue channels then you wouldn't want the DAPCI. It's costs quite a bit more than the CIP. Then again if you are looking for an inbuilt hard drive as well as 36v positioner you would need something else. A manhattan for example.
Thanks Jimbo, Thanks Rolfw for the replies.
but will have a look at the Manhattan range.
Have you tried the hairdryer method yet?
Stand well clear and send all pets and children out of the room first.
Seriously though, it's only a temporary solution to get the caps up to temperature.
Thanks for the reply. I'm used to using a soldering iron and am tempted to try.
Problem is I haven't got a circuit diagram and there are no obvious signs of damage therefore I don't know which ones to replace. Have you got more specific info? if so I would love to have it or perhaps a link to where it can be found.
I think that they do a kit _http://www.satcure.co.uk/spares/kitlist.htm probably comes with instructions.
ordered one, should be here within three days. Hopefully it will do the trick.
