xllx Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Anyone know if it is possible to get such a thing. Eaton has discontinued spares. No, but I do have a Sirius 48 that hasn't been used for ages, that could be used as a donor if you want to take it off my hands. PM me to discuss.

DrV Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Anyone know if it is possible to get such a thing. Eaton has discontinued spares.If you only want one or two (or three) then I have a few I could spare. Not new but I can test them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modge Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Similar to the above a friend of mine was complaining the other day about the excess of broken Sirius 48 in his garage, he could probably help too, feel free to PM me and I'll email him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xllx Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Seems there are quite a few Sirius desks languishing in corners of warehouses! I used to like it a lot, and can't bear to sling it in a skip, I'd rather it was broken for parts as there is no real prospect of me ever using it again I suspect.

alistermorton Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 What would be the possibility of taking the guts of a Sirius and making up a set of faders and wiring them to the mother board, making a hybrid. It might keep some otherwise useless boards doing useful work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might keep some otherwise useless boards doing useful work. Um, they were not the most reliable of boards even when young - I spent a significant part of my life fixing faults on the ones in this local area. Mostly problems with the 2 motherboards talking to each other, "IPL FAIL" I think was the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Fair enough. I don't have much history with Z88 but there just seem to be lots of people trying to keep them gainfully employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Fair enough. I don't have much history with Z88 but there just seem to be lots of people trying to keep them gainfully employed.Indeed, I still use one regularly in a public hall. Usual problem with wearing-out sub-master faders, which are a bit easier to get to than the channel faders, but the venue don't want to pay to have it fixed . Still a great desk for busking generics - at one time practically every Edinburgh Fringe venue sported a Sirius-24. The biggest drawback was that the essential 32kB memory card cost nearly £70. The faders are / were a generic 60mm 10k, as used by Electrosonic among others. Like earlier posters I have a fair few knocking around.

xllx Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 ------------ QUOTE ---------- Still a great desk for busking generics - at one time practically every Edinburgh Fringe venue sported a Sirius-24. ----------------------------- I took a Sirius 24 up to Edinburgh just after they were released. Serial number was really low, something like 004 if I remember correctly. It lost it's memory overnight because something shorted to the case, battery perhaps. Zero 88 sent a modification kit which was basically a bit of PVC tape in a ziploc bag. An excellent desk for it's time, I just don't have any jobs for one nowadays.

Brian Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The faders are still made by Alpha. I believe the correct part number, certainly for the Z88 unit I have here, for the solder lug version, is... RA6020F-10-20E1-B10K The first bit is a generic 60mm travel fader.The -10- is for solder lug, -20- for PCB pins.The -20E1- is a 20mm long shaft with the split 8mm wide top.The -B10K is a linear 10k fader. I haven't, as yet, found anyone with them in stock. Mouser have a -20D1- version which have the right length lug but a different top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Might be worth trying Anytronics - their small analogue desks use(d) the same Alpha B10K faders, the only difference being that they solder the unused Pin-2 at the top of the fader to a solder-pad, whereas on the Zero-88 Level-6 I'm looking at Pin-2 has been removed (or possibly they used a variant without it - Keith at Z88 would know). An alternative would be to look for Level-6, Level-12 or Anytronics desks on a well-known auction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianknight Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 ...or you could talk to a Zero88 dealer - the fader is the same part as in the Level 6 (4415000 "10K Fader Lin") and is listed as being £5 each plus VAT :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
