I came across all there Maplin mixer modules today in the loft I remember building them when I was still in the disco business for my lenco gl75 twin decks using the Maplin modules as the stereo mixer it has inputs for two mics tape one disk 1 disk 2 tape two and Aux one and two plus treble and bass on both channels and PFL monitoring is was loosely modelled on the Citronic SM607 i had at the time brings back some good time
Maplin Mixer Stages tape/R.i.A.A/ EQ/and Ouput Buffer
Yep I reminder that SM 330 as well I also had the SM440 and very old 313 black oh and a cloud consol cant remember the model now though
I liked the Citronic range at that time

Yep these Maplin mixer modules were around about the time Mike H was at Maplin it would be nice to get hold of the Schematic for the Phono Stage again as I seem to have lost the Maplin projects Book it was all in along with some other Maplin mags Can you tell me anything about these mixer modules Mike thanks
I haven't got the projects books if that's what you mean!
Do remember a few going through a bit of a re-design at some point. Before that was before my time I think so didn't have much to do with them I'm afraid. None of them were very complicated IIRC, so should be easy to duplicate / trace circuit of.

Yep was just wondering if maybe you had the project books or not. It was just the Phono Stage I was thinking it might be fun to rebuild with better components
I do remember hooking it up to a psu of 14.000uf BHC split foil caps and into a mission Cyrus one many year back it sounded pretty good at the time think it would still be worth a play
hi, I am just new on here and noticed you were talking about the good old days of Maplin modules etc. so thought I would join in. I have 10 of the Mixer Modules assembled, and still using one in my DIY stereo system. I made these up when I was living in the U.K. many years ago. Also I have the Schematic for the phono pre-amp as well. In my opinion this is a very good sounding pre-amp with heaps of gain, but you do need a subsonic filter with it, as you do with most turntables of course.
Hi All
Not been on here for abit
I am just in the process of revisiting this maplin phono stage which must be in excess of 40 years old now i had the build manual for it back then but got lost last time i had this phono stage running it bit sound good i how plan to have a play with it again so thank you afb electronics for posting the schematic thumbs up
