You may find that if you do some posting there you might find somebody with
a manual to share.

Here are some other leads to follow up:

Google can be your best friend!
But I suspect your screen reader makes it very tedious.


Good luck!

Hi All,

A Ham and audio devotee friend of mine in California surprised me last 
Friday with an audio filtering unit called a SAE-5000. It is from the 
seventies. No manual, naturally!

It was intended to go between the turntable pre-amp and the stereo 
amplifier. When a vinyl album is being played it monitors the audio and 
removes "snaps", "pops", "clicks" etc. The operation is transparent, but 
exactly what it removes is not!

There is a sliding level control that determines the extent to which the 
audio signal is cleaned up. However, how does one tell how much is just 
right and not too much so that the drum section of the band vanishes along 
with assorted snaps, crackles and pops?

If any of you are familiar with the SAE-5000, or know where I could obtain a

manual for it, please contact me direct. Thanks for your assistance guys!
