Members abzurd Posted March 30, 2004 Members Share Posted March 30, 2004 I was cleaning out the garage and came across this box. I love the pictures of it in use. I have no idea where the "mixer" is now. All I remember is I used in in high school in my bedroom for recording who knows what. It was old then (mid 80's).

Members Lonz Live Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Gee, too bad you can't locate it. It may be desirable in the "vintage" market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abzurd Posted March 31, 2004 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 It did have those sweet sounding RCA/Phono inputs and outputs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted March 31, 2004 CMS Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hey, don't knock it....look at the guy in the church....commands enough respect to have his desk set up right in the main aisle. And apparently the budget for the stadiumm tour allowed for four, count 'em, four mixers, which cut into the budget for a skirt around the flatbed/stage. And dontcha love how the word "stereo" was always given a special font? Kinda like how "color" TV always used to have each letter a different color...like maybe we were all too stupid to figure out what the word meant.

Members soul-x Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 That actually reminds me a lot of my first mixer, which was even more archaic -- guess I had blocked that thinh out until now. But it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted April 1, 2004 Members Share Posted April 1, 2004 My first mixer was a Teac Model 2... and that was big time to me back then in 1976! My second was one I built in school, didn't work worth a {censored}. I used discrete op-amps and they oscillated like a bad dog in heat. I don't think I ever used that one on a gig, but I later built a pretty bad-assed 16 x 6 monitor console (in 1979 or so) that still works properly to this day. I sold it about 10 years ago, it did a bunch of gigs and then I bought it back for sentimental reasons. Like a first girlfriend, the memories were probably better than reality. Soundman probably has stories like this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoundMan Posted April 1, 2004 Members Share Posted April 1, 2004 Uh, well, in 76' I was only 8. I actually didn't even know what a mixer really was until I started working at PV. I've learned a lot in the past 13 yrs. But, I've been spoiled with good op-amps the whole time. None of that flaky stuff I hear my older coworkers talking about.
