So what console are these from or are these just some cards with transformers stuck together?

[atlantis]

hi,
i believe it was 51 series.
it was 15 year ago-hard to remember.
but here is a photo of eq from console.

but yes they are a bunch of trani's and cards stuck together by people who know what they are doing.
cheers,

hey dave (weird talking to you on the forum!).... i'd totally forgotten that i did a bit of research on that console, i can't remember if i ever gave you my notes?

anyway... it was a 53 series... 14 channel? anyway, it was build number A5396 which - according to geoff tanner and other sources - makes it a "14 channel announcers facility for ABC Australia". it was one of 5 consoles (i think - A5394/96/97/98/99) commissioned by the ABC in late 1978. so i'm pretty sure that was your desk.

you do know that rick is not the only person pissed at you for throwing out the frame? ;-) but at least i scored the big blue monitor knob - i'll never part with that!
