Topic: A80
the Studer arrived today!
what a gigantic beast.. its actually bigger than our washing machine..
it's an A80R in some custom bbc rack, looks to be in really good shape and has only got 1600 hours on the clock! has connections for remotes, and all kinds of tape editing extra blocks on the machine, which makes me believe it's an ex editing machine perhaps from the news service or something.
first it needs to be cleaned, and then i have to change the power supply connector, as it's now a 2-prong neutrik power connector that i'm told are impossible to find..
pics will follow soon!
