Reverse-Engineered! - Elka 410CST0820

Mar 8, 2025

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

What is it

The Elka 410CST0820 is a mono amplifier.

Two of these PCBs have been used in the Elka Artist 707 from 1977.

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.
