Rare Langevin Tube Consolette

[matriachamplification]

Wilma has or is purchasing three Langevin 600 Ohm Potentiometer and a Western Electric Passive EQ that needs to be refurbished. We may add this thread to another section but since it has been a part of our thread so far here is a look at the EQ.

Plowing through this design we have found out Mark at Retro Gear Shop has some 100 series Langevin 130B Monitor Amplifiers that are a perfect rebuild for this system. Furthermore, they fit into the 3A Rack Mount. Mark also has a pair of 201A Transformers that we need to repair the 201B in the console.




And to complete this system a pair of Little Gold Tannoy speakers from The Middleman, Mr. Thompson-Bell's speaker of choice. (funds realocated to Miahak Tube Console)



We've attached the Langavin 130-A Brochure with Schematic.

Would you want Wilma helping to design your studio?

Thanks,

Wall and Family.

We would like to build a 4031-B which our friend Mark has a pair of Cinema Engeinnering rackmount versions at his store Retro Gear Shop.

Hello aomahana,

thank you for sharing this information. We unfortunately do not record audio, only work on the design and rebuild of tube consoles. I am sure others will appreciate this share though. Nice find!

All the best.

We are having a go securing the funding for this build. Wilma has asked MM to relist the console until we have the full amount collected.

Hopefully, we can do this before it sells

Hello friends!

1K views in a few weeks. Bittersweet but we'll take it!

Given Wilma and the kids worked very hard to raise the funds for this United Nations Langevin Tube Console, they are in no way willing to merely throw in the towel and call it a day. The reality is, Wilma cannot force grant and loan procedures to act any faster then their protocols allow, so she's decided to move up her short term fundraising goals.

Understandably this is not the thread to ramble on in regards to our not for profits fundraising ambitions and festivals. None the less we will talk about one initiative that is our favourite.

"The Apprentices Guide to Building an Ian Thompson-Bell Custom Tube Console"

As many others have requested many times in the past here on Group DIY... by far the largest contribution we have curated for Mr. Thompson-Bell' designs has to be this Apprentices Guide (including an award winning all female cast of Ghost Writers!).

I won't go into detail as the content is pretty obvious we are however adding disney artwork and an online lesson plan to accompany the cofee table book. Hiring a team was easy on Fiverr, inspiring that team was how we got the best on the site to work on the books.

We ARE raising funds and will be asking for the GDIY communities help however, we are still setting up the online infrastructure to make this happen in house and doubt anyone has any interest in helping at this point.

6 weeks and the UN Console will be here in Canada along with the ITA. We are in no hurry to go public with anything but are positioned to have one hell of an awesome year!

Hot Sauce Festival Details up next!

Wallace, Wilma and the kids.
