As George Alexandrvich Sr. Noted, Fairchild was taken over by Robins Ind. and moved to Commack, NY. Well that’s where the story continues. That’s when I joined Fairchild about 1972. I was hired as a test Tec. and George was my boss. I worked there for about 10 years, advancing to project engineer continuing the wonderful Fairchild line of products. Thanks George for the great relationship and knowledge you passed on.
Around 1980 Herman Post decided he will sell the Fairchild division of Robins to three of his current employees. To this day that company still continues manufacturing, in the sound re enforcement industry under the name of ProTech Audio corp.

I had the opportunity to be a disc jockey at two Radio stations using Fairchild’s 663/664 optical EQ and Compressor, WVLK in Lexington KY & WKLO in Louisville KY . Herman Pipsqueek would sound like Mighty Joe Young with this processor. Joe Meek experimented with optical processing as evidenced by the hit record “Telstar” back in the early 60’s. I have one of his boxes and it’s reminiscent of the Fairchild duo.

Did fairchild ever offer any kits of their 255,260 or 275 amplifiers?

How about trying here: http://steampoweredradio.com/pdf/fairchild/manuals/Model%20602%20CONAX%20Conaccelerator%20Dual%20Channel%20Manual.pdf.

Any chance that he can crack open the FL101 and draw out the diagram of what is inside the metal can? So I can compare it to the drawings of what I have been told is in the can.

The 602 manual differs in that it is 2 channel whereas the 600 is single channel only.

Hi George!

If you do have the schematic for the Connex Series Model 600 I would love a copy of it. I was pretty excited to see that it uses the same input transformer as the 660/670. I will be using it in conjunction with my 1959 Rek-O-Kut lathe.
My email is blackcircleradiodj@gmail.com

Best regards,

Mitch

Steve,

My nephew just aquired a Fairchild Model 600. Any chance you could electonically copy that owners manual and provide him a copy?
