Hi, I am looking for expressions of interest in the following gear.
Awa Big 1 Stereo Limiter Racked and modded by Rob Squire. A rare and beautiful thing...
Gates Gatesway 1962 10 Channel valve broadcast mixing console complete with PSU, monitor amp and manual/ schems and original wiring loom.
MCI JH24 24 track 2" Good head life.
Dolby 24 channel SR noise reduction system.
Several Ta@#$% DA 78 8 channel 24 bit digital tape recorders. Can be used as hi quality DA/AD converters
2x Rode NT2a's in as new condition.


All offers considered including trade.
All gear located in Melbournes Inner North
Cheers!

May be interested in the awa but if you're actually selling would you mind listing a price?

I will consider offers above $2500 for the AWA.

"Stay out of other peoples business" is something I need to constantly remember.

Presumably 'stereo' means two AWA Big 1's in a linked rack (Proharmonic)?
The AWA Big 1's I've seen for $1000 to $1250 were single units.

Just guessing here.

Yep, it is two single units that are linkable in a 3ru case. Attack and release controls added.
As mentioned, I am considering offers on all the gear listed. Is $2500 too much for the AWA? Make on offer.
Did I mention that it works great as a pair of mic pre amps?
Cheers,

All offers considered. I need to streamline, I'm getting project fatigue...

Out of curiosity, how much are you looking for the gates mixer? Any photos & other specs on the unit?

Cheers

Here is a link to some youtube footage of one in action.

I can provide photos of mine if anyones interested.
It owes me around $2,000 but I am open to offers.
It is complete including valves and comes with the hard to find shop manual.
I haven't powered it up since buying it 4 years ago. Just haven't had time to go through the manual and wire it up correctly. It's high voltage scary valves!
It was in service at a radio station from 1962 till 2002.
It's full of UTC transformers.

AWA Big 1's SOLD

Hi Paul,

Nothing to do with your sale but I saw you in Audio Technology today. Thanks for keeping the surf dream alive down there

We're trying to keep it alive up here: http://atombombs.bandcamp.com/

Whats Audio Technology?

I guess we'll find out over the next few issues, should they happen...
Mark Davies (new editor)is a nice guy from what I can tell and seems to have some good ideas for the mag.

Hey Paul, do you still have the Gates console ?
Have you got any pictures ?
Cheers

Hi all, I've had a lot of inquiries about the Gates Gatesway. I will add current photo's when I get a chance, but here is a link to the same model, although mine has a slightly different finish. The innerds are the same.
http://www.broadcastdocuments.com/BROAD ... ESWAY.html
It is complete including valves, manual, original PSU with 50w monitor amp and loom.
I am told it was in service at the same station in New England in the U.S. from new till 2002. 40 yrs of being in use, likely 24/7. It was working fine when taken out of service.
I have not powered it up since importing it. My aim was to use it as a front end to digital by adding direct outs of the mic pres and also to use it with two mono tape machines and make recordings by bouncing between them. I like limitations!
The 4 mic pre amps have fixed gain of I think 40db, and I believe it has a 600ohm interconnect scheme, so it will take some thought to integrate it into a modern system.
I still want to do this, but if I get the right offer, I'll let it go. It owes me $2k. It's the only one I know of in Australia.
Cheers!
