My brother in law gave me a pretty cool looking channel strip (links to pics below). There are 2 opamps (PC-RC-V ?) and 6 inductors in the passive eq section, I believe. The opamps have 2 connections which say +24, 2 that are -24, and one GND. There are no brand names or logos that I can see.

I want to rack this thing and realize I need a power supply and had questions about input and output transformers. If anyone had any experience with these strips and had some info on them, that would be great. Any other help would be cool as well. I'll be reading the METAs for channel strip racking tips.

I do not know the manufacturer, but it looks exactly how soundguy's console is described on his website:
passive +/- 24 volt op amps, passive EQ with single amp gain make-up. I am guessing that the octal sockets are for missing mic, line, and output transformers.
Try sending pictures to Dan Alexander and Mercenary Audio. They must have seen this.
Voltages will be easy to trace back to that Centronics connector from the op amp voltage traces. I could not really follow what is going on with the octals.

Got some info from someone who bought some of these strips from the same console. Turns out they are supposedly made by opamp labs. I've seen Opamp Labs transformer/amp combos that use the Octal sockets before.
