I've got an Altec 1592b sitting in my rack that I never use (though I probably should) - so maybe somebody wants it? I'm open for trades - mic pre's, comp's, mic's, or anything else that catches my attention.
I'll get some pic's soon - it's been "lived in", i.e., you can probably find a prettier one. That said, it works very well, has xlr ins and an xlr out wired from the patch in back. It's missing one of the big knobs on the front, though you can still turn it.
The 1592 is a 5 in, mono out mic pre mixer, and has a fairly wicked sounding low and high eq that can be very fun and mangling. I'll ship it with 5 input trannies: 1x 1588b, 2x 15095A, 2x 1588c. Because there is a master volume, you can crank the input and drive it to the point of some very sweet distortion while not clipping into your convertors.
If you wanna buy it, make me an offer. These go on ebay anywhere from $100-$400 depending on the condition and transformer included - like I said, mine's ugly but has all 5 trannies, which you typically won't find in a used 1592.

Hi Brendan,

I decided15 minutes ago to sell mine, I bought 2 years ago to mic some drums, but i never recorded any drums... This creature is useless for me and deserve someone that gonna take care of her.

I will send you some pictyures on request but the one i have is ABSOLUTLY

Mint, wiht 5 pres, got out of the shop this spring for calibration, re-in and out, cleaning, regular maintenance as usual, with receipt to proof on request. "Je mets ma main au feu" that this one is the cleanest 1592b on the entire globe.

Since i've decided to sell it a few minutes ago and saw this thread, you have the first chance. I will wait for an aswer untill tomorow after night. Otherwise i will put it on ebay for 600$ since some sells for 800$ and are not in such a condition.

Let me know
