I've only seen 1 hard drive failure and there are clones that auto
switch.
Look around, we just sold 4 studio's worth of Scott Studio gear that was
only 4 years old. Pennies on the dollar! High end analog consoles are
coming around too, we are losing both of our only wheatstones very soon,

What are you gonna want for them? Not saying I'm in the market for one but
it's nice to know if it gets brought up. I'm sure you won't have them for
long if they're selling for cheap.


Don't know yet, but I'll let you know.

going to digital. Proprietary replacement parts are hart to find as I
beleive they no longer support them, be easy on the faders and you should
be
fine.

Try telling that to the monkeys operating them. :-| I've gotten mixers
back
that were in service for maybe a week that had more cafeen in them than
the
Mr. Coffee pot in the break room.


The first week in the new rooms I walked into a studio to find one of our
female DJ's with the wrapper of a toasted sub sandwich spread across the
console and she was a chowin down. On the meter bridge...... her drink. I
became explosively convincing that there was to be no food or drink, except
water, in the studios. Until she was fired

All electronic parts such as op-amps, etc. are still in production
and quite common. I'll stick with whizzing drives, they are cheap,
reliable, and seem to make the most sense to me. But I like my digital
consoles Where are you located, My boss (cheif engineer) is corporate
and we travel all over the US building studios,

I'm in St. Petersburg, Fl. accross the bay from Tampa. (wfla territory)

we may have to meet up for
tours, lunch, drinks, and strippers!

That would be fun but dude, I'm a part-timer, not Bubba the Love Spunge.
lol
:-)


I'll keep it in mind, I have an old live sound buddy down there working and
we need to get down to see him.
