Description

(DRY SOUND MOD) REFURBISHED - SR&D Scholz Rockman X100 Headphone Amp - NEW CAPS
Since the introduction of the X100, users have requested the ability to play and record dry guitar sounds through this device. Original chorus/echo switch has been replaced with two sealed high quality slide switches. Top plate cutout has been extended on both ends. Other than that, there are no cutting of traces. Switches wired into existing pads.
This is the first release since my prototype, this will be a new modification done when refurbishing these units. Please be aware of the time involved in doing this modification
Chorus only
Echo only
Dry only
Chorus and Echo
These units are now over 30 years old and no longer being manufactured. I purchase Rockmans to refurbish and resell. You will receive the unit shown in these photos.
Electrolytic capacitors dry out or leak over time as they have a limited lifespan of 20-30 years. All (11) Electrolytic Capacitors have been replaced with Nichicon branded quality capacitors.
All switches and jacks were cleaned and lubricated. Solder joints checked and resoldered as necessary. Both headphone jacks replaced with new jacks. Flex cable was replaced with bus wire and Teflon tubing to maintain integrity (can’t get original part). Power board has new battery springs. Traces on back of board were beefed up with bus wire to maintain integrity after corrosion damage (again, they don’t make these parts anymore).
Unit was functionally tested using batteries and external adapter (batteries and adapter not included).
I have been an electronics technician since 1983. Rockman unit has been fully serviced and ready to use for years to come without needing costly refurbishing.
It is recommended not to store unit with batteries if not being used for a period of time. I have seen what battery corrosion does and it is not pretty! To protect battery cover from breakage, loosen all 3 housing screws before removing cover. Do not pry open!
These sold for 9 back in the 80’s. Considering that price and the rarity, it makes sense to get a refurbished unit to maintain integrity
I buy Rockman headphone amps and modules to refurbish. Contact me if you have anything available. Working or non working condition.
