Here is one heck of a cool Ampex 351. I wonder how much it will go for? $50,000 is the starting bid!

This is from a time when Real Men made records.
No pesky DAWs boys, you played it live and mixed the musicians in the room according to how loud they played. No more than three takes were allowed on some gigs, so if you screwed up three times, you either got fired, or you played the next song.
So many hits went through these machines. Too many to count.
Which absolutely proves that the equipment must always play second place to the songs being recorded. we are here to serve the song, and the artist.
Not the other way around.
Cheers

I'd personally be surprised if it sold, and extremely surprised if it sold to someone who was going to use it. This machine belongs in a museum at that price. But in all seriousness, awesomely drool-worthy machine!

"The recorder has been appraised at $800,000 for insurance purposes."
Them evil-Bog listing fees must be huge.

I cannot imagine it selling either, it's best off donated to a museum.
