I need the correct data on the Starlet II Format Card. This is not the same unit as in the Manuals section. This is a minimum feature model.

The Starlet II was from 1989-90 model and has two cards in tandem. Front card is 27034-1 and the rear card is 27032-1

Front card has DIP switches S-1 (8 positions), S-2 (8 positions), R-24 Rt Level, R-21 Lft Level

The rear card has one switch S-3 (Rmt/Loc)

Information is not available from EPRAD on this processor which is part of an EPRAD packaged console.

Your help is appreciated.

KEN

Gordon,

Yes, this is the pushbutton model and there are two boards behind them.

EPRAD has been unable to provide any information on these.
KEN

The unit is in Bay City so I will have to make a special trip to get the pictures if necessary for your determination.

Gordon,
Thanks for the mail. The unit 'wakes up' in random modes. The fading time between formats is too long and the first several seconds of sync sound are lost in the process. Our manual (a copy provided by EPRAD) does not describe the purpose or adjustment of the two sets of DIP switches on the board nor the two level controls.

Thanks, KEN

Kennith,
Why on earth would you, or they for that matter want to fix it. Even when it worked it did nothing right.......I think thats what EPRAD is saying by not supplying any info on it...even thouigh IT IS there a the factory.

Actually the starscopes were not that bad compared to the early CP100/CP50 with the cat 110/116
There later matrix was decent and the 3 band nr was very effective. Also the use of parametric eq was very handy

Hey friends, I know that nobody likes the Starlet, but if one came my way, I'd take it.

I'm thinking of ways to get cheap and dirty stereo out of a Holmes 8.

I can think of at least several items over at Radio Shack that I would replace it with before I'd fix it.....it if was any good Eprad would still be supporting it....they sure made enough of them.....
