Does anyone know what these are exactly? (Console channel strips?)

Post by adamrobertt » Tue Jan 10, 2023 6:23 pm

RM brand console channel strip thingies. I don't know anything about them - fortunately they're labeled "equalizer" and "line amp," but I have no idea if they work or if they're worth anything.

My father in law wants me to sell them for him, but I don't know if they even have value. Anyone here have any idea? Thanks!

Roger Mayer!

Wow, that’s cool. A bit of history. Where’s the rest of the desk?

Can’t speak to value as-is… obviously you’d need to build a power supply and add I/O connections to rack them.

If selling them as-is untested, that’s obviously not the way to get top dollar (whatever that even would be)

Basically… you’re looking for a Roger Mayer enthusiast. Maybe there’s a RM Facebook group or something?

They probably came from a desk similar to this one:

He was in the bass amp industry for 25 years and accumulated a bunch of cool stuff over the years. I’m helping him thin out his collection basically.

Thanks for the help everyone

I’m tempted to make an offer on them but fuck, I don’t need any more projects.

This one is gonna be a challenge for someone, unless there’s service documentation out there (unlikely).

They’ll have to trace the whole schematic to determine the pinout of those edge connectors; make an educated guess about power supply requirements, design a chassis and PSU…

Unless someone has a RM console and is looking for spares, that is…

But having a long line of projects is what keeps us feeling alive Brad. I swear 90% of my purchases are made simply to give me something to do
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Wait until that non-functioning 16x4 that Brad linked sells and contact the buyer. Otherwise there’s probably not much demand except by a collector?
