Not right for Pacific Quay though even though it can still replay accordian,
fiddle and bagpipes. ;-)

I don't understand the prices people are bidding. Do they not realise
that most of this stuff will be abused and shagged?

Don't reckon it will be Don, it will have been made well in the first
place and knowing the BBC as they were it would have been well
maintained.

For instance we've just acquired a MBI series 16 desk for a local
community radio product and thats fine, and an Audix desk despite being
around 20 years old the insides look no different to the day it was
built and it too works fine

No real comparison between broadcast pro gear and the domestic run of
the mill stuff, with perhaps the exception of Quad perhaps

And the ex Red rose radio Spendor BC1's I have are early 70's and they
are in fine fettle

If you say so, but last time I was in a Beeb studio I saw a large part
of a cup of coffee go into a desk, followed by a quick wipe with some
Kleenex.

Hmm. Most analogue broadcast desks are replaced long before that because
the switches and pots are shagged. Of course if it uses VCAs exclusively
they may be ok.

They use linear faders Penny and Giles in the second instance, operating
VCA's and that very one is still in the P&G catalogue!..

The MBI only had one pot changed, the monitor headphone volume all the
others are fine even the Alps long throw faders and even so there're
only a few minutes to change..

And the measured performance is excellent too!..

The actual faders survive ok - it's the other pots, eq, aux etc and all
the routing switches that commonly give problems. Of course it will depend
on make and amount of use.

I'm seeing 'current bid £200' - am I missing summat?

If that's right, that's surely not a lot of money - not that I believe
*industrial grade* necessarily cuts it in the home for *hobby* use, in
many instances....??
