What happened to Scale Sound Systems?
Alan:
Supplier problem.
--- Quote ---Due to a severely limited driver-supply, all Rectify and Coeval Series speaker production has been put on-hold until further notice. I am working hard to bring an even better performing speaker series to market that will also eliminate these supply issues!
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank-you for your support!

The speaker drivers he was using stopped being produced. He tried literally every other speaker available and none of them met his specs to use. They were all too inconsistent with poor sound qualities. He is currently designing his own driver for production. I believe he's getting close to having it wrapped up.

Thank you all for the many responses about my speakers. I don't think, no, wait...I do think, and I am absolutely certain... I just don't understand this stuff. Never have and at 64 this dog is probably too old to learn it. But I believe I've gathered enough knowledge from this thread that I feel comfortable wiring these sugar cubes.
My Rail Pro system arrived yesterday so today I sat down and started installation on my Atlas Master GP40. It was immediately obvious there is insufficient space to mount this new LM3 on top of the existing circuit board. So I unplugged everything and removed the board. Manufactured a simple tray to replace the old panel so there is a platform to carry the new module. I anticipated the need so I ordered a 9 pin connector harness too. Snip snip and a few solder joints and I have all the red and black power wires connected to the red and black leads of the harness. The motor feed wires on the Atlas are red and black, now connected to the orange and gray leads on the harness. Wired my sugar cube speakers with the brown wires of the 6 pin harness that comes with the LM3. Then came lights and I ran into my first real road block. Again, electronics that I need help with.
This Atlas GP40 has a standard incandescent light for the rear light, no problem. But... The front light is an LED. Hmmm. Guess I need a resistor. Atlas has this LED headlight (along with the ear light) wired to a plug harness on their panel and "apparently" some little part on that panel is the appropriate resistor for the LED headlight. What do I do now? I can get a resistor from Radio Shack if someone can tell me what I need. Or, I could cut that old board apart and patch into the existing resistor if someone can tell me what part it is. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thank you.
Alan:
1000 ohm, 1/4 watt resistor will do fine.
The color bands are brown, black, red. The fourth color band is irrelevant in this application.
