Looks interesting Paul. Very similar to what I am proposing. What time frame was this from? Mid 80's? Looks like it was before Paul started with the 2510's. It does look like he started changing things from the vintage versions. I still don't know why he did not like the old way. Evolution I guess.fluxivity said:very interested. also jeff if yr interested in some schematics and such I've got these:
which were built by me from surplus from an API 2488 refurb, designed and executed by Paul Wolff. To go with I also have routing modules and a motherboard for the bottom of the buckets. I'd do anything I can to spare you engineering time after marvelling at the 51X job y'all did...[/url]
Yes for sure Rob. I will work on some of the basics to get an idea together. There are so many variables and levels it could be taken to. I think the main thing will be what is involved with the input channels themselves. Faders, subgroup modules, metering and so on will be tackled after. I'm sure some folks will not need any additional subgroups. Some won't care about actual faders and may just use rotary pots.Rob Flinn said:...I guess most people here are probably wondering about the cost of undertaking a console like this.

It'd maybe be nice to set up the buckets with inserts after each one so you can send the signal to tape after any module and then return it at any point.
I've saw the MARK VIII a couple of months ago, it looks really sweet and if this ends up behing made, it's possible to build with a little wood working ability...
My jaw dropped when I saw how much PP thinks some metal boxes wrapped in laminate particleboard should sell for...
Definitely you can make your console yourself, however be prepared to line the interior of your wooden wonder with some RF mesh or something. Consoles are made of metal not just for their strength, but also for the ability to keep unwanted electromagnetic yuckeyness away from the thousands of little antennae on your circuit boards.
That's the way to go....you'll still be far away from PP's prices, and still make a metal frame around the wood, that could be perfect"
