Audio Past

Thanks to Mike Sveda for bringing back some fond memories. I found a picture of my third sound system (the last one I owned before I moved to NC in 1974.) As a matter of fact I brought pieces of it to Greensboro and sold it. Jim Reese found an old tape loop delay I had sold and gave it back to me some years ago. Thanks Jim. I would love to the have the Sound City Mixmaster back if anyone knows where it's hiding. It was my first desk with faders and was sold to someone locally when I lived on Voss Dr. Boy was it noisy and it had a tendency to ultrasonic outbursts that sent my Dynaco amp into protect. The system pictured featured:

Dallas-Arbiter Sound City 10ch Mixmaster FOH desk
Shure Anti-feedback cut only EQ
Home built ocean wave/rain simulator
Dynaco 400 amp
Reel-to-reel tape deck for delay
EV Sentry 4 speakers
Sound City trap monitors
Acoustic mixer/amp monitor amp
EV RE 11 microphones ( I still have one)

The picture was taken in 1971, give or take a year, at the White House in Niles, MI. The Band was Cold Shot. From the looks of that lighting controller I can understand why I had the fire extinguisher handy.
