I think that there were two versions of that generator. If your unit has a fader, then yes, connect the cell directly to the inputs. If there is no fader on the unit, it was designed to be used with another processor (usually the SR-300).If you are going to build a system with it, Smart also had a three channel, full octave equalizer called the EQ-600. I have even used them to eq the surround channel on old Dolby CP-50s back in the days before Dolby incorporated surround eq into their processors. Smart, btw, is one of the easiest companies to work with when it comes time to repair something that is no longer in production. I bet if I could dig up a broken SR-130, Oscar would fix it for me.

Luther,I can get you a manual. I have already e-mailed you this morning asking for your address for shipping. Russ is correct. The SG1130B will directly accept a solar cell connection. It can be used as a standalone 4 channel stereo synthesizer for mono prints. We made a version called called SG1130BX (no solar cell input and no fader) which had to be used with an existing stereo processor . Let me know if you have any questions about the product. Believe it or not, we still have a few of these in stock, and we occasionally sell one. In fact we have sold a couple with Panastereo processors. Talk about the old with the new!! Best regards, ------------------

Russ,You are correct! We still repair SR130 processors. Believe it or not, there are still quite a few of these old things in service today, and we occasionally get one back for repair. Basically, as long as we can get parts, we will repair pretty much anything we ever made. I have been here for almost 18 years, and the SR130 was obsolete when I came to work here. But we still fix them. One day we may stop repairing some of the older stuff, but as of now we still do it. ------------------

Well, Mark, you got to get your parts from wherever you can  Besides, Radio Shack has long been known for supplying premium parts at a low cost to manufacturers!!Brad, I have been meaning to start supplying you with some manuals. Do you want the actual manuals, or do you want ready-to-go pdf files, or what? I can do pdf's if that will help. Unfortunately, most of the older manuals were not done on modern computer programs which allow easy conversion to pdf. So, I will probably have to scan them and then convert the image files to pdf. However, the newer manuals (for the last several years) can be easily converted. It will just take a little time to do. Fortunately, some are already done. I will work on it in my "SPARE" time. ------------------

Ken Said:
"Yes, I agree that Smart is a good company to deal with. They will go out of their way to help you."Then when I called Smart about 4 years ago with questions about one of their music distribution units (a 1987 model) the first thing the person told me was 'Are you SURE its a product of ours?' However, I did get manuals for the MOD II's I was installing, and got to talk to a much friendler operator, Megan, who has the cutest Georgia (Jaw-Juh!) accent, and was so helpful... Whenever I have to call Smart Devices, i request to talk to Megan (BTW, I never did get the info i requested on the music distro unit (which by now has gone to the giant Ebay auction in the sky))
