SOLID STATE SYSTEMS for ORGANBUILDERS (not Electronic Engineers)

The benefits of solid state equipment for control systems in pipe organs are by now well known. Potentially, they are almost ideal. However, only too often the organbuilder runs into problems.

Because the solid state circuits he buys aren't designed for him. They come as a series of uncased circuit boards that have to be chosen, configured and put together by the buyer. They need special regulated power supplies. Connections have to be made in a variety of unlikely places. In short, the organbuilder is expected to be an electronic engineer, as well!

We don't believe this is right. From the start (and we are pioneers in this field) we have thought and built in terms of systems, designed for organbuilders to use.

For example, consider our Capture System pictured at the left. Our customer sends us the specification for a particular organ. We send him a complete unit built for that organ, tested and working, cased in !11ahogany, with all connections clearly and logically laid out on a pinboarc!. The system requires no separate power supply or AC connection. It is built using hermetic integrated circuits on fiberglass·epoxy printed circuit boards for the greatest reliability.

Our complete systems approach doesn't mean any loss in flexibility. Extra circuit boards can be added with ease at any time, by the customer or by us. And the prices of our complete systems are no higher than those of other, incomplete ones.

Solid State Logic Limited is the only company formed to build electronics for pipe organs alone. We make a full range of products for every need, including blidgets, blodgets, midgets and coatchits. All of them are conceived as systems. All use the best available components, and all are built with the cmftsmanship and care that Britain still produces.

We have been selling our products in the United States for some In 17 countries around the world. time now. We feel sufficiently proud of them to say this: SSLL • We think that our approach is what the industry needs. American Office: P.O. BOX 200 • We are sure that our products are what organbuilders need. MILAN, MICHIGAN 48160 • We guarantee all our products for 10 full years. (313) 663·6444
