Where's the top one taken from? :)
Marco.
Don't know exactly. It was sent to me by a mate some time ago. It's of a german radio station. The console obviously has two EMT 930's, a Telefunken M5 (I think) RtR and lots of Telefunken V72 / V73 line/mic preamps plus what look like a couple of V81 amps. The bank of faders could be Neumann or Eckmiller.Quote:

Get one your living room you can dress up as Ming the Merciless :eek:
Oh what fun that would be... Not sure that the look would compliment my fave kitten heels, though! :eyebrows:
I love the 'sober and functional' aesthetic (do you know what I mean?) of 1960s BBC control rooms, such as those found during that period in Broadcasting House in London, which the picture of the German radio studio reminded me of :)
Here's an example of what I'm talking about (spot the Tannoys being used for monitoring purposes ;)):

If I had the right sort of room at home, I'd give it the same 'vibe'/aesthetic as that!
Marco.
That 70's studio has more of an Enterprise feel to it.
I know where you're coming from! Do you think 70s? To me, it looks more like late 60s. Those are Tannoy Lancasters, on the stands, n'est-ce pas? When were they introduced? :)
Marco.

Here's some more vintage BBC control room lurveliness:

Oooh, look - Thorens TD124s... :)
Marco.
The killer with magazines is you have to have all the months - it's gutting to have one missing! I was like that about Record Collector, and Wire, until I ran out of space. Expensive indeed!Quote:

1930' to 50's was the golden age though.
I had stacks and stacks of HFN, HFA, Wireless World and Elektor back in the mid to late 1970s and threw them all away when I moved out of the family home :(Quote:

Hi Guys,
Not sure if its in the right thread,and I know nothing about it either.
Perhaps the diy ers would be interested?

Just won a loverly condition ERA (Etudes et Recherches Acoustiques) MK6 Turntable, these were great sounding decks used 48 pole Syncro motors & inverted bearing..This is a late one so should have a good bearing, i have a spare NOS motor if anything should be wrong with this one! What i love about these is everything is built on the baseboard.. neoprene 'silent block' platter suspension..
Anyhow i'll get it all completely rebult like new inc new armboard & side cheeks in natural English oak..New lid made etc etc..
I love em really compact size like the Thorens 'TD150' was. o a reasonable £52.00. You dont have too much overhang at the back so a i recon a nice SME '3009' S2 Improved will be the ticket..
(btw: the pic of the bearing isnt the actual one on the deck)
A lovely find that and it looks to be in excellent condition too, congrats... ;)
Recently won this and it has arrived today, wet inside the packaging :scratch: and has been dropped of course so a bent the bottom cover
Left it to dry out for a few hours just tried it and one channel is dead and i seem to be getting a slight voltage tingle through the chassis, unplugged it and left it alone for now .
What is it with these arsesole from these courier companys, fragile and do not drop isn't in thier vocabulary or understanding
TNT TWATS :steam:
Very sorry to hear that,but also if it was packed properly maybe you wouldent have a problem.....That is why I will never,ever,EVER...buy anything so delicate by post....I have driven 150 miles and more instead.
It's ok now i straightened the bent base plate then took it down my mates, he gave it a once over and fitted 2 new caps a skirt or two of switch cleaner and its up and running again, i have now just got to fit some better speaker sockets to make life a bit easier
Good news Jon :) Glad it ended up a little better than things appeared to look earlier!
cheers Mark, it's good to have friends who know what they are doing
Aye
Ive gotta see this deck landing in one piece yet
Well this has set me up for the weekend :eyebrows: You might need to do some hunting about to discover why this bit of kit caught my eye ;)

Now convert that to £££ or as you normally have to simply put a £ where the $ was :eek:
this looks interesting

Good job I'm off out later as today on ebay is becoming a tad expensive :doh:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2709565917...84.m1497.l2649
Well that saved £1600 :cool:
Looks like Mr Hynes is going to be making another regulator for me :eyebrows:
They have a very bad rep...Quote:

If it doesn't go much higher, which is unlikely, could be a bargain:

'it was owned by a young (19 year old) Eric Clapton and was signed and dated (1964) by him on the inside of the lid when he sent the amp for repair.'Quote:

Could well be made by Mitsubishi, a lot of Teleton stuff was:

Always wanted one of these to play with - I would make a reasaonable offer if it wasn't all the way down in Devon:

I had one and it would never run backwards. I was very disappointed - I think it must have been faulty.....Quote:
