All mics sound the same.
I literally laughed out loud when I read this. Just consider it four pages of enrichment.
You can feel like you got the shaft when the list never actually shows up.
Inherited a lot of classic home-musician gear I know zero about being an engineer.

Just peachy, Henry. Other than getting PWN3D left and right by income taxes, medical bills, and traffic fines, that is.
The home recording end of things is in limbo for a while. My roommate started bitching about the noise while I was learning to program my drum machine. I guess he didn't understand what I meant about using the room as a studio. So now I'm basically paying rent on the room just to have a place to store my gear until I move. It's about useless for recording anyway. The wiring in this old house sucks, and it's hot as an oven in there without the window unit constantly running.
So how are things with you?
Great, great living the dream!
Tell me about income/S.S. taxes - sure hope that I eventually get to benefit from them.
Traffic fines huh ..... I never get those anymore. I drive like a pepae' and enjoy it.
Hope the move south is favorable for you and the children.
Don't be such a stranger I miss your wit!

it is, but the pay grants in 3 parts..
one at the start, one at the middle, and one when it's over........how sensible.

There ARE those of us who have lives outside of recording, i.e. we must make a living at something else and then get to the recording as we have time. Stopped by on the way back from work tonight and I can tell you a little bit of what's there from what I can see:
The three huge things in the front are
1. a Seeburg 45-33 jukebox from 1963 including service manual and stuffed with 70's rock and roll.
2. The desk as in old principal's desk from the 50's copped by the recording department in the 60's, to put the original 8-track Tascam mixing board on from the 70's, originally from the basement of the old Music Department at Pasadena City College from the mass evacuation and giveaway before they tore down the K Bldg, and
3. the equipment rack with two Ampex 350-2's in close-to-restored condition from the theatre department at Hollywood Community College (now known as Los Angeles City College).
Behind that is a Fostex 7-inch 8-track for quarter-inch followed by several other reel to reels namely the ubiquitous Teac 4010S and Tascam 8-track quarter-inch with a built-in mixing board, and two-thirds of an Akai 1212 (missing the heads and belts I was told when it was given to me in a heap - I put back together what I could and there it sits,) an MCI JH 110 for which we are trying to find parts to restore so that we can play clients 14-inch reels up to 8-track 1 inch, leaning up in the corner is most of a M-1 keyboard - missing a couple cards from what I was told, and something that says STAGE 88 - some kind of antique keyboard or other - missing weights on a few of the sound bars beneath some of the keys.
Akai M-8 reel to reel a k a Roberts 770X that apparently guys use the amps from as old-fashioned guitar amps being tube type, some slightly-flattened cymbals that could probably be repaired and used, and in the H U G E pile of reel to reels is a set of monaural tapes from either a Mellotron or Chamberlin Music Master, still in the original wrapper.
But I don't think anybody cares anymore about monaural Mellotron/Chamberlin tapes when the stereo ones are readily available on 2-track reel OR as samples on CD these days.
I think the 70's museum-contracted reproduction of the original 50's Douglass Laff Box is in there too unless its across town. That's basically where the Chamberlin/Mellotron people got their idea at.
And I think I saw a couple envelopes of Optagon organ accompaniment flexidiscs jammed up into a box of LPs that play a multitrack accompaniment through an optical array inside the organ of the same name. I know the actual organ to it is long gone though but maybe the playback mechanism is still in there..
``Appraisers'' came on Monday night and said I should E-Waste the lot of it and take the $128 I will get and go have a good steak dinner. No thanks kid, if I wanted to hear that everyday, I'd be spending more time at home with the wife.
Anyway, once my ``disciples'' come back from back East due to family emergency, we'll be able to start going over there on Saturdays and Sundays and start to sort, test, and make our real list.
Til then, if somebody will teach me how to post pics to the forum I can go tomorrow in the morning to get you guys a couple wide shots of one of the three storages (the other two are in the East Bay) so you have an idea of what we are dealing with i.e size and scope.
Happy now?
