Gents, I am picking up two Studer A810 and one A807 locally. One A810 and the 807 are console versions with casters on the base. Original Studer I think. The other 810 is a portable version.
These so far are in great shape, at least visually. One has minor marks on the splice block, very minor, the other two are near perfect. Two transports are dead, although they light up, the portable unit works in playback. Two come with Studer NAB hubs. (I did all of 5 minutes of testing on site)
I listed these here instead of in the classifieds only to see if there's some interest. I can sell them as-is, but I'd much prefer to overhaul them, i.e. replace all the electrolytic caps that short out from time to time, replace the CPU battery, the pinch rollers that are cracked, etc. and do a full calibration.
I will be selling them for typical eBay pricing, ($3500 USD each give or take) more or less once I go through them and check out specs. If I sell them as-is, they'll save me 8-12 hours of time, and I'll sell for under typical eBay rates. . From what I can see, there's zero head wear on these. They were in a studio all their life, but not used like crazy, and super well maintained. 1 owner as far as I know. They were taken out of service about 10 years ago, and they've sat idle in climate controlled storage since. I powered them up and found 2 transports to be dead, much to the dismay of the seller.
PM me if interested. Should be ready to go in about 3 weeks, the time needed to get all pinch rollers to Terry's and back.
thanks!
