I was ebaying a bit and i noticed the only studer products you can find there are their vintage tape recorders and newline highend digital consoles.

this might be interesting to some people,
the only purpule SSL console in the world,personaly i prefer my SSL pinkish. :twisted:

Yeah...Studer is most famous for analogue multi-track machines...

I have seen some Studer 169 consoles 2nd hand floating about, but Im sure most would need alot of work and maintenance.

The one I bought had just recently been re-capped, and the original faders were replaced with higher quality Penny&Giles.

Still...I need to do some work to the console as the right side of the master section has just fucked out. There was some DC leaking, probably from a dirty capacitor, and now the right VU meter is completely dead. Hopefully it is just a problem with the meter bridge, and not with the master section!

The preamps in the Studer are somewhere between Neve and SSL. Not as coloured as Neve, not as clean as SSL. The EQ's are gorgeous! Definately the best thing I have ever bought

Shit Jase, the bug bit you something rotten! Great to see mate. :D

I've been looking for an SH2 just too - I think they are real keepers. Juno-60s go for dirt cheap here, so I was thinking of grabbing one for a try (not sure though). As far as the matrix goes...be careful as the voice chips can fail, so buying can be a little risky (although buying a few alows you to layer the voices by conecting them up).

I now have a shop lined up in Ausi for analogue consignments, so from a few days ago on (got ADSL connected at home) I have been searching the auctions. I love getting this stuff to try out, sample, then pass it on for a profit! :D

right - you're very lucky if you can find one ... they're extremly rare, and the ones in good conditions are very expencive :roll:

True about being rare, but they never sell for that much over here though. The most expensive ones I see go for about $450us (and that's in the shops - I know where there's 2 in Tokyo at the moment). If you look on the auctions you can get them much cheaper.

Ahh Japan.

the price also depends on the age ... you'll have to look out for one of the later SH2 editions, the first production series had extremley unstable oscilators ... and it sometimes takes for about an hour until you can use them. I had luck, my one powers up and is usable within 30 seconds.

There is a guy on eBay that is doing this exact same thing. He is in Tokyo. Chingo123 or something. Im sure he is making a fuckin MINT!

Thanks for the info AW. Useful for sure and it gives me another question for the sellers. :D
