Repair help needed

Hello Teo,
Thanks for your input.
The Cotter is based upon the DP6000, but Mitch modified many things in the electronics, in addition, of course, to the physical changes. Prior to it dying it was exactly my plan to buy a spare to keep as a back-up for parts. If it was just a stock DP6000, I would have done just that and mounted it to the Cotter base myself. But the mods that were made ( of which there is no record that I'm aware of ), put it out of my technical reach to assess ( I'm a PTP tube guy ). the inside of this thing looks like spaghetti to me. So the guy working on it will have to know his stuff.
I'm been on the Vinyl Engine site for quite a while, and already have a copy of the service manual in house. Great resource.

That said, I was perusing the vintage DD thread this afternoon, and the name Bill Thalman came up. We spoke this afternoon, and the Cotter will be headed his way soon. I have high hopes.

Thanks again,                           Crazy Bill

there are at least 9 for sale on hifishark, right now, so it maybe best to try your hand at buying a used one that works, and keeping the leftovers as repair components.
