DVD battery with the tip reversed

I recommend installing a battery power cable to correct the polarity of the UA5, and make the connection at the battery (where pin location is standard).  The reversed polarity at the UA5 can create headaches - make a cable that take care of it, and you can insert any standard power source...

There is a ton of good UA5 reading if you go back a few dozen pages:  http://taperssection.com/index.php?board=4.2100

Well said Terry I totally agree about the battery cable. That way he can use any battery he chooses to so he doesnt have to worry about the polarity being reversed

Thanks guys...I was not aware of the polarity issues...gonna hit up Ted in regards to a cable as well as reading through the older forums.

You can make your own for cheap at Rat Shack too using adaptaplugs if needed in a hurry.  Ted does great work too!

Hi, does anyone know if Chris Johnson is still performing the Busman mods to the UA5?  I found a 'new in box' UA5 on eBay and am gonna snatch it up.  (I've always wanted one!)

Thanks, Chris.

Thanks, Chris.

yes he does, $160
You can prob buy a used one cheaper then what your going to pay for the mod and the unit/shipping

[chinariderstl]

Cool, thanks!

I'm good with Chris' prices.  He's been extremely helpful and has done some excellent work for me in the past.  To me, $160 is well worth the mod.

love my bmod ua5....doesnt get much use but when it does always impressed wih the sound.  need to use it more often!

All squared away; picked up the minty UA-5 off eBay and spoke with Chris.  He's going to perform the mod for me.

Question, does anyone know if the Naztech PB15000 can power the UA-5?  Or am I better off using an RB-270?

[jbell]

Both will work!!  Just need the correct cable and I believe the UA5 has reverse polarity.
