It's almost worth $20 just for the cool factor. Looks like a home built amp or preamp. Someone spent a long time with this.
 
i dig the box. those little grills and the vu meter give it a vibe.

My brother, Kip, bought one of those. it is a time machine. It doesn't work.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

heck yes it works. :D
I'm guessing it won't work without an interstitial flux matrix oscillator and a random field frame integration diffusor and a topological bitch slap rectifier, but maybe that's what all those 1/4" jacks are for.

It's not a time machine. The lack of a flux capacitor rules that out! That and this is pre-Delorean.

My guess is it's an old Heathkit Reveampcuflafauratistrixester-er--er.


Yeah!...That's what it is!!...the 3 input model with a VU meter!


No, really, my guess is this is a homebuilt guitar preamp. That's why the output is really low. The 6072 is probably one stage and the other is probably an ECC83 (12AX7).
 
This thread amuses me :)

Great when everyone has something to giggle at, with no expense :)

I would like to hope that most people know what it is... especially as its listed as a tubeamp on ebay ;)

I don't even know why you're hangin out here if you can't see that it's clearly a time machine.

Ahhhh my mistake.... I had my head at a slight angle... slept bad last nite... :p

it's actually the control unit to Mr. Peabody's Wayback machine.

I didn't know Neve made time machines too.....
 
This is the prototype of an audio subliminal mixer patented (USP#1570381) http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-...170,381.WKU.&OS=PN/5,170,381&RS=PN/5,170,381 in the late eighties by Eldon Taylor, James Woodhams and myself (though I was never given credit).

"Audio subliminal recordings are made in which in addition to using a primary carrier, such as music, two audio channels are used to deliver subliminal messages to the brain. On one channel, accessing the left brain hemisphere, the message delivered is meaningfully spoken, forward-masked, permissive affirmations delivered in a round-robin manner by a male voice, a female voice and a child's voice. On the other channel, accessing the right brain, directive messages, in the same voices, are recorded in backward-masked (or meta-contrast). The three voices are recording in round-robin fashion with full echo reverberation. The audio tracks are mixed using a special processor which converts sound frequencies to electrical impulses and tracks the subliminal message to synchronize the subliminal message in stereo with the primary carrier. The processor maintains constant gain differential between the primary carrier and the subliminal verbiage and, with the subliminal verbiage being recorded with round-robin, full echo reverberation, ensures that none of a message is lost. The primary carrier should be continuous music without breaks or great differences in movements."

It should be obvious from the photos how the electrodes are applied, and the right and left brain signals are accessed and modulated.

Well, it's not in his Bio, but he trys to keep some things private. I think he's also a crime-fighting superhero only disguised as an audio design genius. He spends the midnight hours traveling into the future with his time machine to battle the evil villians that seek to destroy the world. I for one am glad he goes to the future. I'd hate to see him in tights and a cape. UGH!

OK enough of my senseless humor. I can tell you're bored with it.
