568.0. "Death of a CE-1" by SRFSUP::MORRIS (Pretty maids all in a row) Mon Apr 04 1988 11:45
I picked up a CE-1 Chorus for 5 bucks. Deal of a lifetime, I think.
All I had to do was replace the grounded power cord. So I replace
it, plug it in, and voila, an authentic CE-1 Chorus that works.
So I screw on the back plate, hook it in-line with the rest of my
effects, and what????? NOTHING!!! I mess with every knob, and I
don't get diddley. So then I try plugging into the Stereo jack.
This works fine on Vibrato mode (big deal, I don't play Duane Eddy),
but what I get on Chorus mode is a real stair-step like pitch shift.
Not smooth (or musically useful) at all.
Can anybody tell me how to fix it??
Thanx

| 568.1 | Maybe it just needs a bit of cardboard | BARTLS::MOLLER | Vegetation: A way of life | Mon Apr 04 1988 14:21 | 10 |
| Sounds like something shorted out inside when you re-assembled it.
Who ever had it before you probably tossed the paper liner that
goes between the back plate (the one on the bottom) and the circuit
board. If you have some stiff cardboard (like the stuff that they
use in shirt packaging), you can cut another. You might also take
a low wattage (30 watt) soldering iron & re-solder any suspicious
solder joints. I often buy deal effects boxes only to find a broken
wire, or replace the power connector (cheap ones avialable from
radio shack). It's probably somthing simple.

Thanks, I'll try it. When I screwed the back panel on, I also
tightened the screws that hold the circuit board mounts. That could
be the problem. And you're right, there was no liner.
