Does anyone have some of those mag preamps that came with Vic8's they would like to donate to a good cause? (Either the cards or the whole hang-on assembly.)I went to see 2001 at a place that is still using them. It's a school, so they don't have any money to replace them. I thought for sure we had some kicking around to donate, but when I went to look - they were gone. We had those things for 20 years, someone finally threw them out. I had promised them to the fellow there, and now I feel gulity, so I have to try at least a little to find some. I'd be glad to pay reasonable shipping charges from just about anywhere. Thanks!

Yeah, but I was sure we had those preamps, and I promised them to the gent there. He was so grateful; I felt awful when I saw they were gone. They are running on a *very* tight budget (yet still doing a good job) so I wanted to at least try.But, I'd take Mark's suggestion as an alternate; If anyone has six Dolby preamp cards, I'll make a homebrew MPU for them. Maybe someone upgraded to those newer ones, but kept the older ones? They would still be better than the Cinemecannicas. Gordon, you are right about the hiss, but except for that, it sounded pretty good. The fellow there said they had the Teccon heads, so I guess it was either mismatch the impedance, or no 70mm at all. I'd do the same! They do have a CP200, so things aren't all bad. Keep your "ears" out for either! Thanks!

Much as I hate to put sales pitch in my posts, I know that we have in stock at least one MPU, and we also have a Cinemec 35/70 platter and a 70mm splicer. I know this because it was yours truly that removed these items and many others from where they had been sleeping, and helped load them into a truck. The part of that haul that you'd be interested in is one Vic 8, complete with pedestal and lamphouse, one Vic with pedestal and lamphouse, one big (and I mean BIG) IREM 3 phase rectifier, one cinemec 35/70 platter, two soundracks, one MPU, one CP200, stacks of power amps and speakers. Also splicers, spools etc. Again, sorry for the sales pitch, but the man asked and that lot, amongst other things is taking up serious space in our workshop!
