Motown Direct Amplifier-inspired Preamp?

That's right, sheet rocked and painted with shelac. I believe they also had an EMT 140 plate.

Well so much for offering a potentially destitute museum owner money for reverse engineering,

"In October 2016, the museum announced a $50-million-dollar expansion plan in order to create space for interactive exhibits and recording studios.] Since the announcement, the museum has received donations from organizations like The Kresge Foundation, the AARP, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to help with both the expansion as well as community programming."

Quick thumb if that is Robert White, could be the Firebird in the neck position, sounds like a pick,

I think I remember reading that the one stage was 4 db Dave P - I think you are right. I was in contact with some Gordy last year - I will ask them on another site - maybe we get lucky... I think Silvertone on GS bought a DI Motown preamp(s) a ways back - will check

They had separate outputs so they could balance all three guitars and the bass.

Is this plate or room reverb>

Listening again that might be a plate. I think the reverb on this song is the attic chamber:

Yes that does sound different .

They use to split her voice, one channel was normal. The second channel was sent through a filter to extract the upper freqs of the hi end, then they would boost the crap out of it and combine it with the normal channel. That's why she had that shimmer on her vocs.

Years later somebody put that idea in a box and called it the aural exciter, although I think the method used was a bit different.

They had tricks for trying to make AM radio sound hi fi.

What for?

[What for?] -- "Because it would be fun to do"??? Is that a crime now these days???

Would readers be interested if I did a full research on the project as if I was going to make it?
There is some tech stuff that needs to be further explored I think.

[Would readers be interested if I did a full research on the project as if I was going to make it?] -- I personally would merely enjoy creating and designing all of the sheet-metal and PCB-designs. So.....whenever you are able to come up with a completed schematic, I would just get a kick out of turning the schematic into a physical reality so others would be able to actually build it!!!
