Swan 250 #1

 This is a Swan 250 I picked up from an estate. I love these 6m rigs...they're great performers, easy to service and maintain, and are fairly inexpensive. This one was _very_ dirty from being in storage, but was pretty easy to restore.

I checked the tubes, and all were good. I cleaned the tube pins and sockets, replaced a few out of spec resistors, replaced the electrolytic capacitors, cleaned the relay, cleaned and lubricated all pots and switches, installed new lamps, cleaned the interior, and gave the cover a paint job. She's back up and running like new. Here's a few photos...

Swan 250 #2

 This is the second Swan 250 restoration I acquired from a local estate. This rig looked to have been a parts rig, lots of bad tubes, some were bad _and_ just plugged into incorrect sockets, etc. It had some outer cabinet rust and peeling, knobs missing inner "brites", stripped sets crews, various other mechanical issues. 

I cleaned and repainted the top and bottom covers, tested/replaced tubes, cleaned and serviced all of the controls and rotary switches, installed new lamps, replaced all electrolytic caps, replaced several out of tolerance resistors, and gave it a full alignment. It turned out well and is a great performers. It has landed in Studio A andcpart of my collection. Great rigs!!
