Putney s/n 377 & D.K.1 -Cardiff Uni |
| Description |
I bought this lovely old VCS3 / DK combination in April's VEMIA. Apparently the last of Cardiff University's EMS gear after many years. I knew the top panel was a bit tatty - the photos were clear - but I didn't think it would matter much in use. Actually it did. The bottom panel was excellent (except for Cardiff Uni's incised name and the serial number - exactly like the other one sold on VEMIA and the one on the Wikipedia entry). The wood of the case was excellent. So the missing screenprint bits on the main panel actually got to be annoying. Luckily the brilliant Robin Wood and Lucid were able to work out a solution. Robin had a replica panel made and screenprinted, and Lucid did the painstaking job of installing it. The result is just beautiful and well worth the expense. Unfortunately circumstances mean that I now need to sell it. Everything else is exactly as it was in the last auction, so I'll use the same photos from that, just adding some new ones of the beautiful new main panel. It will be in perfect working order, thanks to Lucid's expertise. As of Oct 31 it is now back at VEMIA and will be shipped from there. Packing 30GBP.
