Aquastar SN:18

[seasounds]

Eric,

I have owned Aquastar #18 since I purchased it new many years ago from Bill. I have several questions for you should you find the time to answer them (anyone else here who may have the answers are welcome to comment of course.) I haven't used the Aquastar in awhile and discovered that forgetfulness comes with age.

1. On the circuit board there are three potentiometers. I have long since lost my manual and forgot which is which. The top one is volume I think. Nevertheless, if you have time would you clue me in on each one as to function and settings?

2. My original coil failed for some reason (got very noisy and after repeated attempts to reterminate it gave up.) Bill recently sold me a used Goldquest SS 11" coil that seems to work fine, although I can't compare it to the original coil that you built for the Aquastar. I also have a 11" Deepstar coil that has a hair thin crack in it that I suppose I can epoxy. Is there any chance you might have a coil that you made for the Aquastar?--I would like to have one as a spare. Any comments as to the Goldquest SS, or any other coils that would work well with the Aquastar?

Thanks in advance,

Don

Hi,

Aquastar the coil will be best by far
start by changing the connector or re welds and strip brass connections

possibly shorten a bit the cable (out of braid, often happens)

it is also possible to tailored coil, adjust the inductance / resistance (coil) of the aquastar == 204.4 // 3 measure on SN 23
but again, the origin would certainly higher
