Anyone else drool over Trident gear?

I see this unit for sale from a gent in Florida (perhaps it's an old ad as there are a lot of TSM modules on ebay atm)

If I had a spare $20K + freight perhaps it would be mine

That's a lot of channels... could easy make some cool sidecars out of that.

every piece of trident gear I have had was basically pretty anodised junk ..

I have had two consoles.. 6 outboard eqs and two different stereo limiters

I've worked on quite a few not very nice Trident consoles in the UK.
Regarding shipping a Trident from abroad, or the recent Sphere discussion, it seems like a crazy expense given the lack of health in the music industry. Surely there are decent consoles in Oz already looking for a new home?

ty gents - I was just romantcising about the famous Trident studious sound .... never used their gear me-self ... apparently that one was owned by Eric Clapton then Duran Duran ........

I've never seen anything special about a Trident, never understood the fuss.

Not implying that the desk in the pic above had anything to do with the details on Wiki or philsbook, but.....
