This page features mixers, studio gear, odd broadcast items, and other fun but bulky oddities from the past.

RCA OP-7

Webster Chicago Wire Recorder

MagnaTech 1" Eight Track Recorder
We always thought they just made film dubbing systems!
This recorder sports a Hewlett-Packard transport and is capable of speeds between 1 7/8 ips to 60 ips.  Why?  Good question.
Sorry, this equipment is no longer in our collection, but we thought you'd still like to see its picture!

Ampex AG-440's
We have several of these tape decks which we use for audio production on a regular basis.  These were real work-horses in the late 1960's and 1970's.  They are still great machines.

ADM Recording Studio Console
Sorry, this console is no longer in our collection, but we thought you'd still like to see its picture!
This Board came from Detroit. We think it was used by a studio called Conquistador Recording.  If you have ever heard of it, or know any details, we'd love to hear from you.  It was built by Audio Designs Manufacturing, about 1969 or 70.  It has sixteen inputs and eight outputs, although it appears to be expandable to sixteen outputs for "state of the art" sixteen track recording.  Sorry, this has been sold, and now lives in Florida.  We've kept it on our web site because we think it is an interesting piece of audio history.

Scully  280 Series 8 Track 1" Recorder
Sorry, this deck is no longer in our collection, but we thought you'd still like to see its picture!
Very "state of the art" for it's era.

Tascam Model 32
Still in production, but this one has given great service for 15 years.  This one has DBX noise reduction, which we never use.
