Your source for new and pre-owned parts for your DCS or Maestro system!

We generally have in-stock and ready for shipment a number of commonly-used parts. These items come and go, so be sure to check with us for availability. The items listed here are a sampling of what's available - if you don't see what you're looking for, contact us by phone or email us.

Item Description
Audio Cards
Single boards and board sets, including the DA5601, apt-X™ data reduction board, MPEG data reduction board, and AES/EBU digital I/O board. All boards are tested and current revision.

Audio Switchers
Used CCC-manufactured 8x2 and 8x4 audio switchers go very quickly. They are the only audio switcher that works with DCS. Later revisions of Maestro support the Broadcast Tools SS8.2 switcher, among others.

CPU Cards Includes used 486-based for DCS units and Pentium-based for Maestro units. Additionally, we offer new CPU cards that work in the IBUS PCI/ISA chassis at competitive prices. The new CPU cards work with DCS, Maestro, and ACP server units, so long as the chassis is a PCI/ISA SBC chassis.

External Drive Chassis External chassis for hard drives. Both 50-pin SCSI-1 and 68-pin SCSI-2. These chassis' generally support up to 8 SCSI hard drives in either one or two-channel configurations.

Hard Drives
Used hard drives are available, generally in sizes 2GB to 9GB. Drives are properly formatted for use with DCS units. Most are useable with older DCS units. For newer Maestro units, we recommend new hard drives be purchased.

Power Supply
New and used power supplies for the IBUS chassis. If you want a new power supply and have an early version of the IBUS chassis, some "fitting" may need to be done to accommodate the new-style, smaller-sized power supplies.

RAM
Both SIMM and DIMM memory modules are available, although we recommend new memory modules. A good, inexpensive source for memory that works in DCS and Maestro units based on the IBUS chassis is McDonald and Associates. For Pentium-based Mako CPU cards, use 72-pin SIMM PARITY, NON-EDO modules (in pairs).

SCSI Host Adapter
Used SCSI host adapters that work with DCS units, typically Adaptec 1542CF, 50-pin SCSI-1 adapters. 68-pin adapters also available.

Track Balls
These track balls are the original equipment shipped with most DCS and Maestro systems through 2001.

All used parts are warranted for 30 days from arrival at customer site, unless otherwise noted.
