And George Morrow - Morrow computers and I think later Godbout used
to say "Never trust a programmer with a screwdriver".
But I did manage to keep a recording studio running quite well.
And I truly loved working on the Studer A-800. Truly designed for
easy maintenance. When a power transistor went on one of the power
supplys the steps to fix it were this.
Undo the twist fastener holding the PS in place.
Pull it straight out.
Take the supplied allen hex 'screwdriver' and unscrew the screws
holding the transistor.
Plug in a new transistor.
Screw it down.
Replace the power supply and lock it in place.
It would take less than 1/2 hour even if you were slow.
It was a true marvel of Swiss engineering.
