Re: Is my A-137 faulty?

2007-08-15 by Tim Stinchcombe

Hi Jari,

At roughly the same settings as you give, my A-137 gives a very 
similar trace to yours. Because of the 4 stages acting one after the 
other, it is quite hard to see the effect of each stage and/or 
controls in isolation. I suspect the diagrams in the manual are 
rather diagrammatic of what is going on, rather than the literal 
truth, but I'll study the circuit a little, and see if I can answer 
some of your other questions.
