Thanks Mike–so nice to hear from you. Where are you now?

i was in touch with AMS based on the email addresses you had given me previously–thanks for that. They sent us a new screen–but that didn’t turn out to be the problem. Then they sent us a new inverter and that seemed to do it. Jim told me to send back the screen, which i did, but it ended up costing me a fortune to fedex to the UK–if i had known that i would have kept it as a spare, especially b/c it doesn’t seem to be automatic that i will get a full refund on it, but i hope so b/c it was pricey and i don’t even have it anymore !! Anyway, we are communicating about it.

Chris Bloor, Mark Leah, and Rachel Pool were helpful with this issue, but i do wish i felt AMS was better supported. i would even consider buying a new one if/when i need it, but the support does seem to be difficult from the other side of the pond.

Anyway, thanks so much for your continued interest. Take care and let us know where you are these days.

all the best–betsy/BH Audio/Baltimore, MD. USA

hi Peter–i know it’s been many months….what did you do with the Audiofile? Do you still have it by any chance? The screen on the used SC we put in this summer just went. We can see from the dials that it’s booting up….but the screen remains dark. It happened to my partner the other day & it eventually came on after about an hour, but today it did it again & it has yet to come on. Do you, or anyone, have a screen that would work with this system? Or any ideas what the problem is & know how to fix it? Or know of any other systems, including upgrades, that would be available?i am kind of desperate–this was my back-up system to my 19 year old green screen we just retired 6 months ago, and now this one is unusable because you can’t see what you’re doing. Gee i don’t want to give up AMS altogether yet…..even though i know that’s what makes sense. Any ideas are most helpful. And if anyone has or knows of a power supply for the green screen, i guess we could always resurrect that 🙂 thanks-bh

Hi Mike…so glad you found the thread…and so good to hear from you. I would love to be in touch with you–we managed to get up and running last week with a used power supply from an old green screen I had in storage…but now I have lost two disk drives….I may have some spares in storage i’ll look for next week but all in all I feel like I’m starting to skate on thin ice supporting my beloved green screen with needed parts. I love AMS and would love to talk to you about parts, upgrade, etc. My friends Louis Mills and Jim Mikles say that that you’re the man to know for AMS, so I am very grateful you contacted me. My email is bhaudio@comcast.net if you’d like to get back to me that way or on here. Either way I look forward to more conversation with you, and thanks so much for finding me !! Take care and please be in touch. Many thanks–betsy/BH Audio

hi–yes, i am still using my AMS Audiofile–and mine is the GREEN SCREEN !!! I’ve had it since 1991, and have loved using it….but i think it may have suffered a fatal blow this week. It seems the power supply has gone up, and i don’t even know where to turn to begin to see if anyone has an old dusty but working one somewhere. i may have to ditch the whole system which would be such a shame. i use Nuendo also, but there is no better editor than the Audiofile. Is yours a green screen by any chance? What is yours and what are you doing with it? i love Audiofile and can edit like the wind on it–i am so reluctant to give it up. Let me know your thoughts if you will. thanks–betsy/BH Audio
