master control 5500 with no volume control
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 22, 2011 16:23Martin: how much is a new opto? b and o said if I send it to them, they'll put it in and see if it works. Although, that might not be the end of the story and I may need other parts. Paul

master control 5500 with no volume control
