Phil O'Keefe Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 If so, I'd really love to buy this board. It's the TG12345 Mk IV that resided in Abbey Road Studio 2 from 1971 until 1983. It was used to record Pink Floyd's legendary album The Dark Side Of The Moon, not to mention tons of other legendary recordings from that era. They're saying it will go for a substantial six figure amount, but I suspect it will go for more than that. Hopefully the million will cover it... http://www.audiomediainternational.c...-auction/06320 So... if you could have any legendary board from any studio since the dawn of audio recording, which one would you choose? This one would certainly be at or near the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not like there wouldn't be anything in it for you... If you help me out just this one last time, I'll be more than willing to record you for free....

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 You are correct sir! Another quote from him that I always found amusing is: 'I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times.'

The waffle iron is in good condition and emits a melodic clang when struck with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikeo Posted March 25, 2017 Members Share Posted March 25, 2017 Funny this, it just so happened that my birthday is on March 27, the day of the auction. Let's just say I win the lottery or sumpton this weekend. I will be retiring from my day gig, then flying to Nashville to pick out my personal dream studio at Vintage King. I personally don't think I'll need much more than a Nerve Genesys, but I could wrong. Maybe I will buy this unit from Abbey Road/EMI with my lottery win, and put it in a second room in my new studio. You can all come over and fiddle diddle with the knobs too. No charge. OH I probably need a Studer 16 track too. Wish me luck. I told the wife that if I won the lottery, I'm building a new house. I told her I'd build one for her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well thanks a million everyone, but we came up a wee bit short on the funding - as I suspected, there was no way that particular TG12345 MkIV was going to sell in the six figures, and in fact, it went for $1.8 million, so we just didn't have enough... The buyer remained anonymous. Any guesses on who it might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators daddymack Posted March 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2017 well, see, you should have said something...if you had the million, I would have ponied up the extra $800,100.00 [at a nominal interest rate] to close the deal!

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Martin Shkreli? Rick Rubin??!!?!?! One of them would be more likely to put it to good use... and that's in spite of the fact that Rick isn't an engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
