Felt bad hijacking a thread about a space being broken into, so brought this over here instead.
Here's a shot from where the drum kit should be, but in fact is currently home to a tablesaw. Still some ragged edges and corner trapping to take care of...

here's the $25 i spent on rack space 12 years ago at a thrift store. It's solid walnut, true 1" planks. It's clunky, awkward, no room for a mixer... thinking of hacking it on down to two angled carts that can be placed either side of the 388.

nice! ms morespace said to tell you she wants your guitar collection. and i like the economy size can of drum.

and also: does that cool old radio on the right in the bottom pic work? i have a few here, none of 'em work.

i love that telefunken, Car Talk and David Dye just sound better on it. All original tubes, tho the seeing eye tuner tube went out recently. the multi-cap can has a price sticker so i'm guessing it was serviced at some point. i like that it has a little slot inside for the envelope containing the complete schematic and board layout, w/ german, english, and french annotations - imagine a modern day consumer product doing that.

the entire rest of that guitar collection cost less than the squier. love my cheap gitfiddles.

drum is evil.

Floid, it looks like we have similar taste in mic preamps!

Looks good guys.

Darlington, I needed to copy and past into a new window to see yours. I think its our board software, though.

Yeah, I noticed it a couple of minutes ago. Is it fixed now?

shows up on my phone, tho it's hard to see much detail. what's the box below the 2bx? how is your altec set up? use mine as a summer/DI, with six 600 ohm inputs and two 15k's.

just picked up the shure boxes on the board and the 'bay this spring. modded the m68 to function as 3 standalone dual stage preamps, i'm liking what i've heard in initial glynn johns setups, summing the overheads to one m63 and fok to the other for broad eq massage.

"lamps are fitted behind the tubes for extra glow."

rofl. both VU lamps on my MPA have bit it and i've no intention of replacing them, think maybe i'll have to keep an eye out for one of these bad boys to get my DAW desk closer to the Enterprise bridge look.

seriously tho, how do they sound? is the tube circuit one of the sidechain distortion types?

Panned mono-center, so it can be "correct perspective" either way... :twisted:
