Hi all

In case anyone's interested, I managed to get a copy of the schematics
for
the Cambridge P50 vintage amp that I posted about here a couple of
weeks
ago, and have gotten to the bottom of the problem. C12, the coupling
cap
between the third and fourth preamp stages, had dried out on both
channels,
and was almost open circuit. Apparently, the owner now tells me, it's
been
sitting in his roofspace for the last 10 years or more, so I guess that
it's
been alternately cooked and frozen each year, which sure as hell isn't
gonna
have done those electrolytics much good ...

Hi Geoff
I recently acquired the same amp, but with a different problem. I'm
trying to bring it back to life, but it's a long job! If you could send
me a copy of the schematics, I really would appreciate it

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave

Sorry for not coming back to you sooner. It's been so busy here the last
couple of weeks that I've not had much chance to visit the newsgroups and
keep up to date, so missed your post.

Do you still need the schematics ? I got them on disc from a service info
retailer. It's a scan of an original paper copy in 6 or 8 parts. It's not
quite A1 in quality, but quite useable printed out and stitched together
with Sellotape.

What problem have you got with it ?

Regards Geoff
