Wanted Vintage Console (MCI, Harrison, Calrec, etc.)

[StarTrucker]

I posted a while back about a Langevin or QE board but am expanding my search to the brands above. Calrec and Cadac have positive reviews, but seem to be rather rare in the states. MCI and Harrison would be great, specifically Harrison, as I am recording for film and like the American movie connection. Anyone have any leads on one of these boards? Looking for 24+inputs. A 16 input Am4A is still on the table.

I've seen AMEK angelas floating around too. Open to suggestions if you or a loved one have something in this general range. i.e. If your wife wants that "old board" out of the garage

I have a very early MCI 416A in Los Angeles I could let go. Its short loaded and missing some stuff but it could be pretty cool with some love. I wired all the punch blocks to DB25s with Mogami. I wanted to restore it and put it in a room somewhere, but I dont think I will be opening a studio any time soon.

Will you DM me on this if StarTrucker doesn't follow up? I have a friend who this might work for

Sounds like a good project, but more than I'm looking to take on at this time. Thanks! I'm sure whoever gets it will end up with an awesome board

AMEK Angelas are nice sounding solid boards if in good shape.

14 Channel Calrec J series with Helios compressors is $65k now on instagram where Tube Tone has a bunch. I paid 6k for 16 channels in the UK not so long ago and a mix of 8 1061 & 1161 for 4k crazy. 1081 500 series from AML is the way to go. I tried to get the Calrecs cloned in 500 series but things turned weird when we got close.
