All the Polk SDA upgrades located in one place!

I figured this would help some folks find all the tweaks!

If I missed any, please let me know! Please let me know if there is a better link than the one I used as well!

After twenty years capacitors start to fail and it is time to update them!

While that is true, electrolytic caps are inferior to begin with.

Good collection of SDA upgrades Trey. Thanks. For those looking to do the upgrades, true and a good point what Jesse (F1nut) said.

That'll be very helpful to SDA owners. Nice to have most "how to's" in one place.

Great idea Trey- thanks for the effort.

Very nice idea Trey! If I could make a suggestion to include links to the various links to building the AI-1 interphase.

Please post the links here and I will add them!

I don't want to flat out say Electrolytic caps suck as I do not want to trash the stock product...

And for the reference of the future - this is under the "Learning Center" part of the site.

Thanks!

I'll try, when I find them. That's why I suggested it because the links aren't easy to find :smile:

Good stuff Trey.

Many thanks.

If I hang out here long enough maybe I'll develop the "courage" to revisit my rather dismal experience in Shop Classes and learn to DIY again (actually I didn't learn it the first time).

I marvel at how adept many of our members are at this DIY stuff. I bought my first soldering iron "ever" about a year ago, because a member of AK I had bought some speakers from had sold me a set that had loose wires on the mid-range, with no clips (bare wires) they had to be soldered on. After a call to a friend and a youtube video and an increase in blood pressure during the actual procedure, I managed to reattach the wires (with absolutely NO soldering experience whatsoever, none, I barely knew what I was doing). After that I kinda figured I would retire because I was told I'd need a soldering station for finer repairs. And I said, "What?" "Really?".

I just don't enjoy messing with things that I could F-up! It's nerve wracking, whereas for most of you it's "relaxing", and enjoyable hobby, kind of like Astronomy was for me in elementary school--but all I had to do back then was set up a telescope (no soldering, lol).

Also, anyone who has other information about the bass brace, removing top and bottom plates - etc.... let me know and I will them!

Thanks Trey,This well be helpful to alot of people.Dan

Added a link to brochures, manuals, a site that has a lot of different models documented, how to construct an AI-1 cable

Does anyone have a more extensive list of how to identify different models?

Very helpfull (especially for us Newbies) . . . Thanks, Trey!

Thanks VR! extremely helpful.

Glad I could provide some help!

He's already linked to their site :smile:. He's got a buttload of info on his site now. Quite awesome!

Be on the look out for pages involving the LSi series, RT series, etc etc in the next few weeks! :)

I also plan on doing tutorials on how to trace circuits, how to solder, etc etc etc!

This is also a stick now at the top of the vintage section! :) Thanks Nap!
