ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M.......

Will,  I think you are absolutely correct,  this stuff must be crap and you shouldn't have it.... I feel bad for you, so I will pay the shipping to Ralph. Ralph,  if you would please,  Repair anything that he sends, then send me the bill and when I pay it, ship all of that terrible equipment to me.  I'm going to suffer listening to it, just for humanity sake! 
I am willing to take this off Will's hands....

FWIW, seems the original question and the problem at hand is being addressed as best possible by the best person to address it. I’d take the issue private at this point if it were me. Sounds like a happy ending for all should be somewhere not too far down the road one way or another.

Your sentiments are correct in a perfect world... Obviously Ralph is willing to help. It seems that if Will doesn't get the info exactly the drawn out for him that he won't be happy and will continue to Slam Ralph and Atma-sphere.  Ralph is being a gentleman about it and has offered 1 on 1 help, but he has a guy that doesn't understand enough to take the direction as given and make it work.  I can empathize because in this case, I would also need a schematic. He told Ralph that he has the technical ability to do the work,  but that doesn't mean that he has the technical ability to de-cypher what needs to be done from a slightly different schematic, which I posted a PDF link in an earlier post. 

autospec can you elaborate on what required fixing on your MP-1 that cost 2k?  I'm in the market for a used MP-1 and would like to know what might go wrong.
Thank you

I'll take that preamp off your hands.
