TAC SCORPION 32/8/2 (?) (S#: SC1985) GOOD (7-8)

THIS 43-MODULE CLASSIC MID-80S BRITISH SPLIT CONSOLE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. 4 AUX SENDS; INPUT SECTION HAS 4-BAND PARAMETRIC EQ, SUBGROUP/TAPE RETURN SECTION HAS 3-BAND FIXED EQ, AND AUX SECTION HAS 2-BAND FIXED EQ. IT IS CONFIGURED WITH 32 INPUT MODULES (S1000), 2 AUX MODULES (S2000), 8 SUBGROUPS/TAPE RETURN MODULES (S3300), AND A MASTER/STEREO BUSS MODULE (S4000). TWO OF THE INPUTS HAVE S1001 MODULES FROM A SCORPION II THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM AMEK. COMES WITH A FULL INVENTORY OF SPARE PARTS! THE SPARE PARTS ARE MOSTLY FROM A SECOND SCORPION CONSOLE I PURCHASED, WHICH I STRIPPED BEFORE DISCARDING THE FRAME. I ALSO ORDERED VARIOUS KNOBS AND POTS NEW FROM AMEK. WITH THE SPARE PARTS YOU CAN RECONFIGURE THE CONSOLE (E.G. AS A 24 INPUT/16 BUSS/TAPE RETURN). YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF SPARE LEDS (WE ALL KNOW HOW THEY BURN OUT OCCASIONALLY). IF YOU HAVE A BAD MODULE, JUST REPLACE IT! 11 LED BAR METERS (8 BUSSES, STEREO BUSS, PFL BUSS).

THIS CONSOLE HAS BEEN USED IN MY SMOKE-FREE PROJECT STUDIO SINCE THE EARLY 90S (I AM A FILM COMPOSER) & SONGWRITER, WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM VENERABLE NYC RECORDING STUDIO THE MAGIC SHOP.

THIS CONSOLE IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR ITS VINTAGE, I HAVE USED IT EXTENSIVELY OVER THE YEARS AND EVERYTHING WORKS. VARIOUS CRACKLING POTS, BUT ALL THEY NEED IS A LITTLE CONTACT CLEANER TO BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE. SOME LED SEGMENTS ON THE BAR METERS ARE OUT, BUT THERE ARE REPLACEMENTS FOR THEM IN THE INVENTORY OF SPARE PARTS.

A MOD WAS MADE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALLOWING YOU TO MIX SIGNALS FROM THE RETURN PART OF THE BUSS/SUBGROUP INSERTS TO THE TAPE RETURNS (USEFUL FOR FX RETURNS, ETC.).

THIS UNIT WAS NEVER TOURED
