Can you believe the mastering equipment and playback gear MoFi used in their early years? Here's the gear listed on a sheet inserted into the Fleetwood Mac album.

Pickups:
FR FR1 Mk3

Arm:
FR 64S with B-60 Elevator/Stabilizer

Turntables:
Denon 6000 and 1500
Revox B-790

Preamp:
Mark Levinson ML-1 w/D-6 card
ARC SP6
DB Systems 1a

Amps:
ARC D-110
Threshold CAS-1 (Nelson designed if I remember correctly???)
DB Systems 6m (don't remember this one???)

Speakers:
Beveridge Model 2
RH Labs subs
B&W D-7
Urei 604E time align (cutting)

Additional equipment:
RH Labs ABX-4 xover
Revox B77

Mastering equipment:
Neumans VMS 70 lathe (JVC quartz lock drive motor); SAL 74 amplifiers modded and no input transformers; SX74 cutting head.

Transformerless console built by JVC; Scully tape transport (SP-14); Saki glass-ferrite heads; hand made amps with NAB/2, CCIR/2, and 30 ips/2 equalization settings.

And they didn't dehorn (way ahead of their times!).

What a walk down memory lane!!!
