d8b Forum

Update: I found them. http://sxproaudio.com/ They are up in Washington, not California.

Hello, folks. It's been a long time since I've been on the boards. I hope everyone is doing well and mixing great music with their d8bs.

I need help with my memory. There was a repair shop (I think in Southern California) that worked on d8bs. Does anyone remember the name of that place? I'm wondering if they're still around. If not, do any of you know of a place in the USA that would do a good job? A friend of mine wants to get his d8b refurbished.

Thank you.

c-ya,

P.s. Peter H., You're awesome for keeping this going, man. All the best to you.

I have no idea of any place that repairs them, but what is the problem? Which parts need repair?

Hi Dan

good to hear from you. its been a long time.
the one I remember SXproaudio.com. tell us what's you're set up now.
and how does it compare to the d8b?

I don't know if this business still exists, but when I bought my two d8b's used (both from the same guy), they had business cards with the following info attached to the outside, and even to the insides of them, with "last serviced" dates indicated on them:

Marcoulier Audio Services
"Home of the Synclavier"
Thousand Oaks, California 91360
Cell 818-402-2300
Bus. 805-241-5485
e-mail: smeegtraks@aol.com
Owner: Mitch Marcoulier

I did all my repairs etc. myself... so, if he's still in business, I don't know anything about the quality or pricing, etc.

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Good grief Dan...where the devil have you been until now

I seem to remember you having a D8b that needed repair too...but that was 50 years ago

Best regards,

Phil

It's various things, I suppose. I don't really know other than there are a few stuck faders. I'm hoping he can just send in the fader boards instead of shipping the entire console. I found the place so that's cool.

Thanks!

Hey, Joe. Good to see your happy self still posting on the boards. My setup is very simple. I mix in the box with DP. My d8b is still here but in storage. Why is it in storage? It stopped passing audio whenever it felt like it. I spent a bunch of $$$ trying to get it fixed way back when but no one could figure it out so I stopped throwing money at it.

Take care. Good to hear from you.

Hey, right on, appreciate the help and you taking the time to type that all out. I did find the place in Washington but I'll give this guy a call and see if he's still in business.

Many thanks.

Hey, Phil. Lol. Good to hear from you. We're still kickin'. Still making music, just not with the d8b. No one could fix mine so I gave up on it a long time ago.

Hope you're doing well.

Hey Dan,
Did you get your board fixed and if so what did it entail? Did have to send the whole thing up to Washington and was it a financial nightmare? I’m now getting the system 43 error and can’t figure it out so am thinking of abandoning the board and moving on unless I can get it fixed reasonably. I’m also in LA.
