This mixing console has been stored dry and safely for decades, but it is almost certain that it will require at least some maintenance before it functions 100% again. The pictures show a lot of dust, but the surface is overall in good condition. I am quite sure that after a proper cleaning, it will look very nice and shiny again. The power supply has been lost, but the complete manual is included. All faders and knobs are present, so that is not a major issue. Since we do not have the time to take care of the refurbishment ourselves, we are offering the console to someone who is willing to handle the restoration.
The price is for self-collection in Brussels at a fixed, pre-arranged appointment. A deposit of €2000 is required, which will be forfeited if the buyer does not show up for pickup. This covers our travel expenses to the loading location and the risk of having to retrieve it ourselves.
30 mono channels
6 stereo channels
6 groups
Info from Harrison about the TV3 desks:
The TV3 was a very sophisticated console. The electronic design was based on parts of several previous designs (32C, MR2 and MR3) but it is not quite any of them. The bussing architecture was completely different offering 30 bus in-line monitoring on mono input modules but also providing stereo audio group modules with multiple stereo main outputs as well. The TV3 mono mic modules originally had a 3 band full parametric EQ with variable HP and LP filters. The mic inputs had special RF chokes installed as by that time the use of transformers was winding down (no pun intended) but electronic balanced I/O design was becoming the norm.
Not working and offered as is. You will get what you see on the picture in a not working condition. You are buying a restoration project.
