    Glen,

    Any information of the value / voltage ratings of the capacitors (C1-C3) or are they covered in black tar? I wouldn't be surprised if they needed replacing after 55+ years.

    Thanks!

    Glen,

    Thanks for your help. I should have dug deeper. I'll give a critical test with my function generator. I've already done a casual sweep but I'm not convinced I'm getting that kind of...

    That is an interesting schematic. I've never owned a N1200 with a selector switch for HF attenuation. I should assume the not so fully featured unit or a system with a selector placed elsewhere in...

    N-1000 Cross-Over

    Glen,

    Nice job. I think this clears up the connection configuration. I'll assume the early N1200 follows the same. Would be nice to compare schematics though. I'm also assuming the R1-R3...

    Glen,

    Thanks for clearing that up. I do wonder at this point if there is padding on the N1200 that comes with the later system. Serial numbers match up so it could be but then again, I do...

    D1050 Polarity

    I have green and black wires from the D175 and yellow and black wires from the woofer pair so I'll assume from this that black is common and will be the center terminals or 2 & 3. Interesting that...

    Cross-Over Polarity

    BTW, does anyone know how to determine the polarity of the terminals on the cross-over I have pictured above? I don't see any "+" or "-" symbols for either input or output.

    Thanks!
