70s A&H console. know how to make it work? Worth fixing?

Post by tasker » Sat Feb 04, 2006 5:08 pm

thought i'd tap your brains again. i've just acquired this allen & heath board. what's left of the manual seems to date it to 1973. i can't find any info on it. not only that, i can't make it work either. it looks like i've got 16 direct outs on the far right module and four group sends via those weird roller type things. but i don't have a master fader. in any case, i don't know a thing about this board. i've never been a fan of modern A&H stuff, but has anyone used any of the older boards like this. have opinions? do you think it's worth me figuring out / maybe throwing some money into? got any links to helpful sites that could help me along?
thanks,

That has to be the oldest A&H I've ever seen. Does it have a power supply? If so is it working? Could the strip on the last row with the 1/4" holes be its patch bay? How about a picture of the back......
