Brothers and Sisters Can You Feel My Pain?
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 7:24 pm
My wife caught onto my wide-eyed, dropped-jaw enthusiasm, my friend nodded his head politely, but I needed people to tell my tale to...
Original Craigslist post that I found this morning...
Record(lp)cutting machine for sale (crown point)
cuts 33,45, 78 rpm,as well as masters , all hardware,(2 whole six foot tall racks), formerly out of 1970s detroit studio, from late father in law,extra cutting needles,etc, been stored in sealed container good for a studio,am remodeling basement, getting all stuff out etc, serious inquiries only....
I responded, went to my studio to do some work. During the day I get a reply from the person selling, and he eventually sends me photos of what he is selling. I was supposed to go straight to have some beers with said friend who politely nodded his head, but instead had to go home first because of this feeling in my stomach that told me what the photos might hint at (the email on my phone can only receive text, not picture attachments). I get home and (among other, very similar) find the following attached (this is when I drop jaw and extend vertical pitch of eyes that gives clues to my wife I am moved in a spiritual way) :
1

5
I responded with a heartfelt "I have money, will buy, tell me where", but haven't heard back. I suspect many things, but I conclude I am no longer in the running. Can you feel my pain?!?!
I can only recognize the LA2A and Pultec of being of obvious value. The two big things on the bottom right hand side of the rack look like Ampex type pre amps I've seen in other studios. Does anybody know the other gear?
