Yamahaa 01X Digital Mixer & Bose Speakers repaired after having a smashing time..

This week It seems everything that comes in has been damaged through impact one way or another, the first thing to come in was a lovely Yamaha 01x digital mixer, as I’m a service centre for Yamaha I tend to get a lot of their items in.

This one was a little different though as it was not down to a fault, as much as a bit of an accident. The Input gain control channel 1 had been snapped off, along with channel 1 fader which had been bent. This had happened during a studio accident… I asked no more questions…

It was a fairly straight forward fix, that cost a lot less for the customer than a new unit would have cost. I managed to get the item fixed using a new control, spacer collar and nob where fitted to the gain section, the bent shaft on the fader simply needed straightening.

The second “Accident” that came in was a lovely old Bose speaker cabinet from 1976 which had been knocked over at a school function ( I bet someone got a detention for this) 5 of the eight speakers in the cabinet had been smashed beyond recognition. This should be ready for the customer within a week to ten days.

So my top tip this week, don’t knock things over and just be a little more gentle with your audio gear.

But if accidents do happen, bring it to us and we will do our best to fix it.
