Need Plate reverb help !

axisdreamer · 8th February 2006

Anyone know who could work on my old EMT 140 tube plate reverb electronics?
The electronics are missing a part. I never got to hear this thing since I bought it years ago and it's time to get it going. I'm located in Pa and would like to find someone on the east coast to work on it if I could. I also bought new stereo pickups and put them on so I need to upgrade to a two ch pre amp since the plate was mono when I bought it.

Thanks............

if you open it and find the driver, and it looks as if the driver has easily removable
connections, you can attach that temporarily to any amplifier that has a feed from
your aux send........
i have a custom built plaste very much like a 140......i have two sets of pickups....
the newer ones came from james _______ i forget the name, but i could
find it - he was the echoplex guy i think.......the pickups are amazing and
were $50 for the pair, they each go through a $18 radioshack part before
going into a daking pre on their way back to the board........

in short, if you have an amp, a way to get it signal and $50 and a couple of
mic pres, you could have the plate going in a few days......
then you can get the original electronics looked after........

just my 2 cents

be well
