    I've made friends with one of the guys down here who is a program manager for a couple of local radio stations, this post reminded me I Have to go bug him tomorrow he's supposed to be checking into any old equipment for me!

    Hopefully my driveway will look like yours when he comes through.

    All in all tho a nice score! Thanks for posting!

    Looks like some serious fun there! Also looks like as many little small town radio stations there still are, some of those machines might still find another life ? Whatever, enjoy!

    Don't forget to double check parts that may sell on those sound boards (and other equip as applicable). Big studio quality equipment is really expensive, so there might be a market on ebay for knobs, pots, sliders, meters, etc. Even untested!

    Nice score Rob
    Curious how it works out for you?
    Do you plan on holding the higher grade boards until the prices come up?

    Nice Rob! Looks like you need to invest in a small shed to store items so you can have more time to break things down! That's a big hit lol!
