I picked up an EMC bass rig with the Performer I head and two EMC cabs, each with 2x Jensen 15" drivers.
Before buying, I looked all over and found almost no info and no schematic for this model, not even a photo. Does anyone have info on the Performer I or own this unit? It's really simple in design-- maybe a limited run or prototype for EMC (Electronic Music Corp. Cleveland, OH). Serial number 368, made in USA.
Speaker jack labeled 8 OHMs and has a shorting EXT SPEAKER jack. Cabs are about 7.3 OHMs. Components indicate 1968. Guessing at power, I'd say 100 watts? Fuse is 3A. The thing sure is loud and clear! Appears to never have had any work done.
I did a full disassembly and cleaning, repaired a couple cracked solder joints on the largest ceramic resistors, they were wobbling on the board. I'll attach some pics and at least there will be one of these documented somewhere
