Turtlerock Forum

Hi all

So exactly ten years ago I bought my beloved Audiotronics 744 console on this forum. I still love her, but she is getting older and parts are getting way too hard to find. So eventually I will have to strip her working channels down into rack pres.

Anyway, in around 3 months time I will have a healthy bunch of cash, and I am starting to sniff around for a replacement console. Budget of $20K. 24 tracks min.

So folks... what's out there? Sydney preferably, but willing to transport if necessary.

Could I interest you in a SoundWorkshop 34C?
Needs a bit of electronic restoration, but could be just what you're looking for.
I'm in North Balgowlah. We could arrange an inspection.

Hi Manning I have a beautiful Amek M1000 desk I'm thinking of selling. Only 16 channels, but 8 bus which can make it 24 at mixdown.

Lee Cardan is still selling his Calrec in Melbourne

I'm selling a desk .... not as functional as the others though.

Cool. That Calrec could be worth a look.

I'm not a huge fan of the SoundWorkshop... not that they are bad in any way, but just not a desk that I enjoy working with. And the Amek looks nice, but we really need at least 24 into 8.

I've got plenty of time though, because my money won't arrive until mid June at the earliest.

In under 3 months time, we are planning on departing Sydney for good and I really don't want to take my 34C with me. What is it that makes you not interested? Maybe you should come over some day and have a good look.

First pic is the same photo, click on it and it expands to that pic. I’m assuming Simon picked it as stock photo.

I sent you a PM as well, Simon.

Thats for the interest and messages. Here is a picture of the actual console. At this stage the console is sold pending payment. Cheers.

Hey Manning, a little off beat but I was talking to a chap in Brisbane who has a Midas XL3 he wants to sell. Let me know if you want his details.

I still have a DDA Q2 I bought of Gareth for a couple of grand probably close to ten years back. Everything turned to shit and I never even powered it up. I've hung on to it in the vain hope that one day I'd get to set it up and use it, but if I'm honest, that's unlikely. Plus I'm broke (thanks COVID)

In Canberra.

that desk was mint!!
so funny... i bought it cause i wanted the three power supplies that it came with for my studio DDA.
so its been through two of us, and essentially untouched.
and i bought it from a theatre that hadnt seem to have touched it!
what a strange old, but mint/ unused board!

definitely worth a look for anyone who is looking.

I'd be interested to know where it ended up when the deal is done.
