60's recording gear

[boulty]

I know this is the wrong thread but I didn't really know where to post it... does anyone know where I can find any information or books on 60's gear and recording techniques. I'm shite at searching the net it seems.

Thanks alot!

Pretty simple. Mostly hand-made boards (usually with Daven pots and 3" Bakalite knobs), Ampex 350's, Stephens, and Scully 280 tape decks, RCA ribbons, Neumann condensers, and EV dynamics, mostly room reverb, or a live chamber - not much else. Playback speakers were either Altecs or UREI, amps were usually McIntosh MC60's, or the old Altec 100 watters.

At least that's how it was in Los Angeles in the early 60's.

My recording gear and techniques are secret.
