[GreenKeys] Model 15 question

[mail]

I have a Dovetron MPC-1000CR/DK.  It has the CRT tuning indicator which is still very bright and can be focused pretty sharply.  The only issue it has is that it drifts position vertically slightly over time/temp.  Otherwise it is in very good shape.  I know what you mean about no two being alike.  Every time I see a picture of a other it seems to have slightly different configs and options.Last time I sourced a mod 15 it was for the price of moving it.  That was a long time ago however!Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S9+.

You could also look at craigslist.ebay is not very useful except for amusement, since some people offering15s there seem to think they are worth $500-$2500.  Don't think I haveever paid for one, it's always been a case of "if you don't take it, it'sgoing to the dump".I don't know any source for the antique power connectors.With those out of the way, I wanted to ask about your Dovetron.  Is yoursone of the MPC-1000 series with LEDs as the tuning indicator?  Or is it one of the older ones with a Real CRT indicator?In the MPC-1000 family I have yet to see two of them alike.  I have one,and it came with a factory error in the "binary bit processor" PC boardwhich prevented the threshold corrector from working at all.  If yoursis one of these, get back to me and I'll fill you in with the details onhow to see if yours has the defect and how to fix it.Now if you have the older model, well I have one of those that I boughtused and it doesn't work and I sure could use a manual or schematic soI can work on it.  This is the model that has everything on the mainPC board - the later ones have a lot of parts left off the main pc boardand some daughter boards that plug into the main board.Jim W6JVE 	--- 	"Ya can argue all ya wanna, but it's dif'rent than it was."
