EMI-TG-MKIII-Side Car
Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:59 pmInteresting. I seem to recall seeing a build thread about this particular unit on GS.
If I can find it again, I'll post a link.

If 'GAS' were a competition.He's only running 2nd fiddle to John McBride.To many prunes.Unfathomable amount of old gear.

Yeah I've seen the rack pics from 6/2/4. Impressive, if a bit unfathomable. I gather he's a gear dealer and picks off the better pieces for his own hoard. But the maintenance aspect on such a large haul of ~50yo electronics would be no small factor!
Still didn't spot the build thread from the side-car vendor. I'm sure it's in there somewhere... Oh well.

Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 5:12 pmI wonder if that was made from the bits of the one that got dropped/twisted when shipping.
There was a thread here a few years back on how not to ship a console.
I can't think of any other reason to carve up a TG
What do ya reckon ?

Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 5:41 pmHi Alastair,
For a couple of reasons, I don't think that's the source. One reason is that the build thread I recall seeing would pre-date the "ship-wreck" thread you mention. The other is that the dropped and twisted TG console was the one that was shipped from Rio (IIRC) to Jungle City Studios in NYC, and their restored TG console still features on the equipment list on the JCS site.
I don't recall if the build thread I saw mentioned the source of the modules. Maybe.
