Gates Level Devil M5546 Limiting Amplifier Tubes Broadcast

EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION

"About the Gates Level Devil -

The amplifier as shipped has two input pads (10dB and 20dB) connected in the circuit. If the level from the console is +8 VU, this loss (30dB) will result in a -22 VU at the input transformer. This will allow the input attenuator AT3 to operate about the center of its range. For higher or lower signal levels into the amplifier the pads should be rewired to give the desired level (about -20 VU) at the input transformer.

The level devil amplifier consists of 4 stages of audio amplification and a control section. The power supply furnishes unregulated voltages to non-critical stages and regulated voltages to the critical stages.

Input Impedance: 600 ohms

Output Impedance: 600 ohms

Input Level: -35 VU to +27 VU

Gates SA-39 SA39 Vintage Broadcast Limiting Amplifier Tubes $4,225

EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION

"

The Gates SA-39 has all its tubes and all of them have been tested to be in good working order on a Hickok 6000 tube tester. .

The SA39 is in working condition. However, no guarantees can be made on the functionality of the unit after it has been shipped. I only state this due to the fact that a vintage piece of gear that was sold some time ago was working perfectly fine when it was sent, but according to the buyer, it had some problems after arrival when it was used. As I said, it is working fine here and now, but it is in your best interest to know that due to the age of this piece of gear, anything may happen during transit. Insurance is necessary for this item and will most likely not be reflected in eBay's total. This may result in a higher price for shipping than what eBay estimates. The tubes will be removed and wrapped carefully before shipping so that none will fall out during transit. "

Mega Rare Bob Fine Pultec Tube Compressor Limiter Mic Pre Vintage Custom Made!!! US $4,500

EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION

"Ahhh...Mega rare tube "valve" vintage compressor limiter. Circa late 1960's. Made by NYC area legendary engineer and tech Bob Fine. Bob took a Pultec MB-1 tube mic preamp (one of the best mic pre's ever made) and added a compressor circuit to it. Front panels of these were sprayed black with cutout for VU meter added. Really a killer unit. I bought this 10+ years ago from a well known producer. What else I know: Handful of units made. Still in use at Sear Sound (actually got a schematic after contacting the legendary late Mr. Sear). Used by Sonic Youth extensively for guitar compression. The great Sigma Sound in Philadelphia also had some of these back in the day. Also mentioned in Tape Op No. 70, page 40, in interview with TJ Doherty (Wilco, Sonic Youth, Beth Orton, Malkmus, Steely Dan, Jon Spencer, the Killers w/ Lou Reed- others) who says it is a "go to" comp for guitar sounds as it is very fast. C. Robert "Bob" Fine also ran his own studio at one time as I've seen pics of Todd Rundgren and the Nazz recording there, and a pioneer of stereo recording (Mercury Living Presence series) and mentor/associate of Walter Sear. Very rarely up for sale. On par with Neve, Universal Audio, Langevin."

EMI Chandler TG1 compressor/limiter US $3,250.

EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION

"For sale is an EMI version of the Chandler TG1. It is in perfect shape, and if you are looking for a seventies Fairchild vibe, this is it!

The Chandler Limited TG1 is a recreation of the classic EMI TG12413 Limiter used in custom EMI and Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles from the late 60's. The TG Limiter was originally designed to be like the Fairchild 660/670 which was loved by many EMI engineers, including Geoff Emerick, but ended up with a very special sound all its own. These rare pieces were never commercially available and only EMI owned studios had access to them. Our version has been remade from the original design information and circuit board drawings as provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity!"
