Description

This set of assembled extender cards is intended to be used with AMPEX AG440 tape recorder electronics. Other models that use the same audio cards (MM1000, MM1100, MM1200, etc.) can also use these extenders.

They allow you to take measurements or make internal adjustments that would not be accessible while the cards are installed.

The set includes three extender cards, one for each type of audio card found in an AG440:

  • 440-001-02 for the Record Amplifier
  • 440-002-03 for the Reproduce Amplifier
  • 440-003-02 for the Bias Amplifier

Each card is keyed on the edge side and the connector side so that it can not be accidently inserted into the incorrect slot. The pinouts are silkscreened on each card for easy identification while troubleshooting.

The boards are gold plated and the card edge is chamfered to allow easy insertion and avoids damage to the gold fingers or contacts inside the mating connector.

The card connector is made by Sullins and is a bellow design with gold plated contacts. This style of contact has a longer insertion life (how many times you can plug/unplug) than other types. The right angle style connector has holes that allow it to be bolted to the PCB – removing any stress on the pins themselves.

We have personally tested these in AMPEX AG440, 440B, and 440C variants with no problems.
