And some will think it sounds great, because it looks so cool. :)

Hmmmm....

you say everything still works so it must be made pretty well. I would imagine it will sound at least decent of not awesome! it must be well put together with good parts to be working after 30 years!

I think the console was kept up really well, probably covered up in a non-smoking temperature controlled environment.

The guy who built the console made some strange decisions. Like the mic input connections are unbalanced 1/4". Still sounds good, but that's bizarre - especially given the housing and actual real estate of the console.

I'm thinking this was made for electronic/moog studios of the era. Perfect for me actually. I only use the mic pres for some drums + reamping
