Model 8900, Dynamic Range Controller, is one of the more complex units that require very special skills, tools and knowledge.

It has come to our attention in recent years that there are many 8900 out in the field that have been heavily modified by unauthorized technicians, which resulted in more or less unreliable/unrepairable condition.  Please contact us for any questions you may have regarding the repair work – if the work performed has not been approved by GML, we may not be able to repair fully and bring it back to the original spec.

We do not take any 8900 that is series II or prior. No exception.

Serial number of your unit can be found on the back of the unit (or front panel for power supplies).
Each model is represented by a letter, followed by 4 digits.

For example, 8200’s serial number should look like E1010

There are some exceptions for units that were made in the early 80’s but almost all units follow this serial number method.
