Reverse-Engineered! - Elka 410CST0811 / Elka 99-19

Mar 8, 2025

Reverse-Engineered! is an article series where I look at random small pieces of electronics.

What is it

The Elka 99-19 and Elka 410CST0811 are amplifier PCBs. The Elka 410CST0811 seems to be a later revision of the Elka 99-19.

I found references to the Elka 99-19 amplifier being used in the Elka Capriccio 33/OL from 1774 and the Elka Concorde 100 from 1977.

So far, I have not been able to find any reference to the Elka 410CST0811.

Why do I have it and where did I get it from

This PCB is one of many analog synthesizers and organ parts I acquired at an auction about 15 years ago.
