Reverb posted on Instagram about a vintage recording console that got listed. It was made by some Daniel Flickinger, who was custom making them back in the day.

"Custom built for the Association in the late 60s, this Flickinger console is one of a kind, and considering Daniel Flickinger only made roughly 22 consoles makes it a super rarity. Flickinger also made custom consoles for Sly Stone, Ike Turner (2), George Clinton, Paragon Studios, and Muscle Shoals, among others. They were quite pricey in their day, running between $85,000 and $200,000! That's in 1970's money, so they were no joke!"

So, the point is the listing has a comprehensive photoset, innards and all. And it's well worth a click to check out. It's listed for $130K and it's worth every penny. It looks like test equipment or mil-spec. Amazing stuff.

I heisted one pic to tease you with...

It's obvious from the quality of the workmanship that these were not built in quantity, in fact each one may have been a custom device. Unfortunately I do not have the cash, the space, or the ability to use such a unique item.
