Optronics Mixer, anyone?

[hodad]

I picked up an input module for an Optronics 3031 mixer, & surprisingly can find nothing about it on the internets.  16 bus console, Beyer input trafo, Duncan fader, RC4136 opamps.  There's an Aussie Optronics, but I can't find anything to link this piece to that company.

Yeah, i did a bit of googling and found that website as well.

Check out the PDF link on this page to some amazing pictures at a ozzie philips tube factory. Tempted to print and frame some.

But sadly, that was all I found on Optronics as well.

Cheers,

ask around on the www.turtlerockmastering.com/forums
There are long term optronics lovers there who are both knowledgeable and friendly.  At least one of the members has a (different) optro console and I've seen an optro tape machine.  Most of their stuff was designed by the owner, Graham Thirkle who also designed many of the ABC studios and a wide variety of other audio related stuff too.
