Soundtracs Topaz 8 24-Channel Board w/Meter Bridge

[Nate74]

I actually ended up with two of these awesome boards. I've had board #1 for about 2 years. I bought board #2 a few months back (the one now for sale). I replaced a couple broken pots, replaced some missing knobs and buttons, cleaned it and most importantly did the +4db mod.

I then used that board in my home studio while I did the same mod to board #1. I then put board #1 back into my studio and board #2 is now for sale. This allows me to say with 100% certainty that it' fully functional and sounds great.

I'd say the board I'm selling is in 8/10 condition but like I said, works 100%. Small crack on one of the side plastic pieces and some small wear and dings. There's also some tape residue that I didn't want to get too agressive with for fear of removing paint. Lastly, there are a few stray pen marks. Again, I'm sure they'd come off, but I didn't want to do anything that would take paint off too.

I'd love to sell this locally (Southern CA) because shipping will be fairly expensive. I'd have to ship it in three different boxes (Board, Meterbridge, Power supply) and I'm guessing it could be around $150 and I have no idea where one finds a box the right size/shape to ship a mixer.

But if you're willing to pay it, I'd be willing to try to ship it.

Again, I'd love to sell it in Southern CA if at all possible.

I'm listing it here first but fear it may have to go to ebay if I can't find a fellow HR'er who wants it. Looking to get $800 for it, but might consider a bit less if you're local. Not interested in trades at this time.

For more info, just take a look around this forum.

I have more pix that I can send out to interested parties. Just PM me with an email address I can send them to.

Thanks for looking!

Ok... what if I entertain shipping it?

Bump for a great board, wish I had the cash!

Thanks Pete.

But I'm affraid the days of people wanting consoles like this are gone. I'm gonna resort to ebay and probably end up loosing money... but oh well, it served me well as a sub while I worked on mine, and hopefully someone will end up with it and enjoy it as much as I have!

Man, you'd think enough people around here would take the... "If Harvey Gerst's got it, I gotta have it too!" aproach.

Really a great board everyone, you all should buy it. Maybe everyone chip in like 5 bucks each. We can store it at my house, and you all can come over and use it whenever I am home. Deal?

Pete, I would have hoped so.... but I guess not many folks have room for something this size in their little bedroom setups. I have a dedicated room that's about 12'x16' that just recording/control so a board this size really isn't a problem. But if you're mixing in the guestroom/homeoffice/pantry, it probably doesn't make sense.

I am interested in this board, but I would be worried about shipping it up here to Seattle.

Het Nate, what's the best price you could do shipping it to 98033?

I just sold one of these for $1100 because I needed money. I was sad to see it go. It is indeed a good board.

I do want another one someday because my monster desk was custom made just for it. Now it sits downstairs empty and sad.

Oh well.

Well, this one's still on the market. I figure sometime next week I may be forced to roll the dice on ebay...

I could ship to NY, but probably not back in time...

Hopefully it'll find a good home soon. It really should be helping somebody make music, not sitting in my spare bedroom.

Last bump. It goes to ebay in 7 days...

Found a local buyer gonna do internet broadcasting... would rather have seen it go to a home recorder, but cash is cash.
