Greetings Model 40 aficionados.
I just dug my KLH Model 40 out of the basement. I acquired mine back in 73-74, likely from Cramer. A group of us did a big purchase together of a number of units along with some spare parts. My recollection had been that they came from Eli Heffron, but after reading through the thread I'll go with Cramer <g>.
It is in need of a serious cleaning / lubrication, but the transport does work. I'm sure the electronics will need some time with a scope.
I was completely convinced that I still had the full service manual and schematics, but after going through the archeological dig that is the basement multiple times I cannot find the damn thing. That's what led me to the google and this thread.
If there is a source for the schematic I would happily pay, any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
That model 40 was great fun, I lugged it around to various live gigs and used it to record the various WHRB orgies, I still have some of the grateful dead orgies they ran. It was paired with a SWTP Tiger 60W amp if I recall correctly, also another stupidly heavy piece of equipment I lugged around. That had a pair of stupidly huge power transformers and those giant electrolytics, I'm pretty sure those parts were mostly sourced from Heffron's.
At the time I had my fingers in Nagras and Ampex machines too, the model 40 held up really well. Eventually it was sidelined when the TC-D5 and the WM-D6 came along.
Anycase, sources or links to schematics would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Best
Mark
