Wow! simply brilliant!! I'm about to throw away a hardly used and perfect 20" Sony Profeel, would anyone want it?

They're nice monitors John

Shame I've got no room or I'd fight you for it

Cool offer Dave.

Fantastic looking machine Lodgesound. Looks like the corner of a BBC control room

So you restore these machines yourself?

Hi there;

Thanks for the comments - yes indeed I do restore them myself - I used to work in the BBC long ago as a Recording Operator back in the days when One Inch machines were the main broadcast format - hence the modelling of the rack and monitoring.

Which site? My dad worked at the Beeb for 25 years, Pebble Mill, on the pictures side - he's freelance now.

Hi;

I was at Television Centre in White City in the basement - we actally used to do transmissions from tape there.

What did your dad do at Pebble Mill?

His main thing was post-production matte shots on period drama stuff, first analogue, then digital - cutting edge stuff at the time; picture grading, that sort of stuff. But he'd done lighting and electrical stuff in the earlier days.
