For Sale Soundcraft Series 1s

[jensenmann]

Hi group

I have a Soundcraft Series 1s desk sitting in the corner, which seeks a new owner. It´s got a bunch of faults, one knob is missing, one fader knob is broken, a meter glass is defective, defective chips, etc. That means it´s definitely not plug und play. But if you´re interested in learning faultfinding, maintenance, etc it might be the right thing for you, just drop me a pm for further information.
Location is Baden Baden, Germany.

thanks for looking
Jens

A serie two is one of my dream console, and Serie 1 always intrigued me ! How much do you think it is worth ?

I don´t know, really. If I´d part it out I´d get 1€ per knob + 10€ for the working VU. If your intention is to get it back to glory then I´ll give it to you for less. I hate to see consoles to be parted out.
Shipping might be the dealbreaker, though.

Soundcraft 1s was my very first personnal mixing desk back in the days...
Used it in my home studio almost 40 years ago, but that was also a perfect little board for live applications as it's built like a tank. There was also one at the company where i got my first job as a live sound engineer, and i used it for a large amount of concerts, from reggae to jazz, salsa or even punk/rock.
What to say ? limited tracks, limited aux sends, limited semi parametrics, but i always loved the overall sound of this unit and more or less the job was done anytime.
Never had an issue with it, even in the whorse live situations.

sm57 and sm58 mics play very nice with the 1s boards. I have a restored chopped down 8 ch
that I would use again for live off the floor vocals etc
