Hi all!
I have recently acquired an older model (early eighties) Final Phase which had been unjustly modified with an unsightly pink and purple psychedelic paint job. (repainted black)
The bottom plate was missing, (I fabricated one out of aluminum) and three of the knobs were gone as well. (purchased new knobs)
I am in the process of restoring this great effect to it's former glory but...can use some help.
I am in need of the min/max frequency readings to set the clock range and max clock frequency.
Yes...a former owner played with the trimpots!
When I first acquired this "beauty"... the sweep and phasing was way off. After checking the circuit at different points, I marked the trimmers original location and dialed it in to bring it closer to what it should sound like but....I would like to bring it back to "factory" specs.
If anyone has a Final Phase...and would like to help...I could "walk" you through taking the readings.
The bottom cover needs to be removed (four screws) to take the readings. You need access to a multi meter that reads frequency. I can supply complete instructions, with pictures of what to do. It's pretty basic.
If anyone can help..I would very much appreciate it! We need to bring this Final Phase back to life!
