Hi guys.

Up for sale today I have this lovely pair of old AWA Big 1 FET compressors.

I'm sure you guys all know the score on these, great fat old Aussie made FET compressors, idea for bass and drums. I wish I had the time and money to get them fixed up but alas I have too much gear and my interests have changed.

These rarely come up for sale and I haven't seen a pair on offer before, I have seen them sell in the past for up to 2k each. Given these need some work I'm asking $3,000 cash for the pair (rack not included). Courier from my end (Tasmania) is no problem for interstate buyers.

Please no silly offers, if they don't sell I'll happily keep them.

Thanks folks

Bump...

No interest on these? I will listen to offers if anyone is keen.

you say they need to be fixed up... can you elaborate?

Also curious about this.

Yeah sure, sorry I should have detailed.

Basically these are in "as found" condition, I haven't tried to power them up, they were quite dusty when I got them, that's not to say you can't get them going by simply rewiring the power plugs (I can do this if needed).

But if I were to get these up to spec for professional use I'd recommend sending them to Rob at Proharmonic, I'd say off the top of my head they would need, new IEC sockets (or the current Cannon power cables rewired), new audio looms wired in to the tagstrip for XLR In/Out, Power Supply recap and basic recalibration and testing. So not a big deal, but obviously I want to be up front about everything, sometimes I think I'm too honest when selling things! haha

BUMP. Will reduce to 2k for the pair, final offer. Cheers

Last bump before they go to eBay...

Have these sold?

Hey mate, nope still got them, I'll send you a PM

$2K for a pair
say $700 at Pro Harmonic for the full enchilda mods and refurb

less than $3K for a smashing pair of limiters ..

I would be keen on one... if someone wants the other one... send it directly to Rob have him do his thing.

cheers
