FS: Publison Fullmost, Priddle monitors, A800 bids and bobs
Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2014 7:05 pmLocated in melbourne:
Publison Fullmost relief enlarger: pretty good condition. Couple of light scratches on top. All lettering in tact. Maybe if you look really, really hard you might find the corner of a letter ever so slightly missing. Came from a Dutch radio station initially, sat in a rack unused for years in told. I'm the third owner, you can be the fourth.
$750
Richard Priddle custom made near/mid field monitors: sort of a D'appolito style setup but with Richard's crazy electro-acoustic madman genius touch. They are side ported as an example. Ply, solid as all hell boxes. Crossover is something to behold. They like to be powered by 300-350 ish watts a side although if Richard was still around he'd probably call you a dickhead and tell you to give em at least 500 a side and use a Jands amp. Used them at Head Gap for years. Got absolutely flogged by every Tom, Tim and Mary and stood up well. The drivers have been through a few replacements, they were a near new set when the monitors were discharged from control room duties and put in my lounge room. A couple of light scratches and one of the plastic housings for the posts on the rear (gold plated of course) is cracked. I decided I wanted these after hearing red pills years ago and being shocked at what I heard. These are quite dark, the side port is a bit of a wacky approach, but they have amazing definition, transient response and detail. Can see a long shot of them in the Head Gap control room here: http://www.headgap.com.au
Richard wanted $3250 for em but I haggled him down to 2750 with the use of a bit of Kerrigan pool room psychology. I wouldn't mind 1100 for em but, yknow, let's haggle.
Studer A800 stuff: empty headblock. I.e. No heads. None. Judging by the wear on the scrape flutter roller was used with a 1 inch machine at some point, but it's a 2inch roller. Standard edition, no gizmo attached. Perfect for that 15 thousand dollar 1 inch 8 track headblock project you've been dreaming of, surely. $150
A800 vari-speed remote add on. Bought this after having to trash a whole tracking session due to sync issues caused by a flaky micro lynx gen card and not being able to see the sync light on the tape machine. Buying this seemed like a good idea at the time, as was the fantastic Idea to dive into to the world of analogue/digital syncing. What's a good idea is getting this the hell out of my life. I bought it for way too much, I think 750 or something ridiculous, because I was still in a state of trauma. I dunno $250
Original CMV 563 + long neck M7, M55k, PSU, cradle. Very good condition. I bought from a guy in Prague sept 2012. Been to Gunter to confirm it's not an old PVC capsule and was infact an S. Thiersch re-diaphragmed jobbie as advertised to me. This was confirmed, and also the capsule was given an ultrasonic cleaning which brought it back to within perfect spec, in fact slightly better. Also a filter cap and coupling cap were replaced by Gunter last year to bring the noise floor down and to bring the whole shebang back to original spec. $2100 - sold
Neumann SM2 stereo mic with original nickel kk56 capsules, ac701 tubes, NSM 121 power supply, cables and cradle. Very good condition. The mic body has a couple a small blemishes from cradle wear. The PSU was completely cosmetically and electronically refurbished by Gunter Wagner in 2011. I can send a link of before/after pics to anybody interested. It's quite the job. The mic was given the once over by Gunter, capsules cleaned, a couple of components in the pattern circuit replaced. In 2012 an ac701 started acting up ever so slightly so Gunter sourced 5 (!) and selected the the best match to bring the mic back to original spec. Suffice to say Gunter knows this mic very well. I'm sure he'd say a bit too well.....I'm a bit sad to see this go actually. $4550.- Sold
You can play with stuff if you are Melbourne, if you want pics can do that too. I can post at your cost.
