Hi guys .. kinda heartbreaking to have to part with this project.
I really wanted to use this on my own recordings.
My loss is your gain .. I did a lot of work to get the frame inside the lunchbox.
ALL the ORIGINAL transformers are included, both input and output , as well as the main output preamp from the bc-3 console.
The BC-3 Output preamp also comes with the ORIGINAL input and output transformers.
( transformer totals: RCA 4 input , 4 output, 2 i/o preamps, Power Transformer - GATES input & output transformer TOTAL = 13 )
THE ORIGINAL preamp from the lunchbox is included. The new owner can opt to restore the lunchbox or complete the project.
When i got the BC-3 it only had 5 preamps in it so basically, this is an entire BC-3 console in a lunchbox !!
( it will need a separate power supply unit - it won't be completely self contained )

I also have a HUGE ( and i mean HuGe ) power supply transformer that will be included.

Here is a link to all the photos.

I think this is a pretty good bargain. 5 channels of vintage tone - tube preamps for $400 a channel !!   Pretty Awesome  ;D

The UTC transformers and Daven attunuators and bare circuit boards are worth almost that much.
The "Huge Transformer" has like a ZiLLioN Taps for every voltage you'd ever want ( ok not a zillion .. )

And ... Feel Free to make an offer .. who knows .. i might just accept
Cheers
Jeff

There are a ton of possibilities here .. you could rack 2 channels in a 1U rack case and extend the tube sockets to mount them near the front panel of the 1U rack , with cooling vents ( so you can see the tubes glow .. )

AND .. it comes with all the power supply and output amps from the BC-3 console.
You basically have an entire BC-3 console here .. less one channel ( this console was configured with 5 input channels .. i sold one channel )

I can break these up into individual channels and sell em on ebay for way more ..
Just thought i'd pass some love along to the forum that's helped me so much ..

I'll give this another 2 weeks before i start chopping channels and / or posting it on ebay ..
