A heartfelt thanks to all!

Hi all! I am a new member of this forum and a long time user of the Mackie Forum. I want to thank everyone for their fine contributions to the cause throughout the years. I have gained more knowledge and skills with your help not to mention the head scratchers that I got through finding solutions in the forums. I am sorry that I couldn't contribute more.

On Friday in the middle of a session a bypass cap (or rail cap as you call them) in my d8b decided to commit suicide. I did isolate the problem to the CODEC board. One of the 25 bypass caps was bringing the -16 buss down to about -2 volts. With an Ohmmeter I found the culprit and cut it out. I do plan to replace all the bypass caps on that board.

With what I have learned from you guys and the d8b Database I was able to fix the problem in house. Again...a heartfelt big thank to you all!

Sincerely, Rus

Well done, Rus,

those caps are supposed to die sooner or later because they´re not the proper voltage.
Be sure to solder the better dimensioned ones.
Everything is in the database.
