I recently needed a pair of working Weston 862s. I only had one busted one, and a pair of 861s with different gfx that Weston OEM’d for some other firms.

This month’s P/S Radio show has already aired, but you can listen to the program via this archive link thru Jan 10 2020. As usual this show is broadcast 100% from vinyl. Check it out while you can, some incredible rarities here.
PS dot com reader Frank B sent in these pics of his SpectraSonics console. This 6×2 board was custom built for NBC Television in the late 60s or 70s. Here’s Frank’s description of it:
“..its one of a kind…6 preamps and two 610 limiters plus some high pass filters. It was built for nbc-tv. Im guessing this is the only one in existence….The wiring for the patchbay is unique and crazy. “
Interestingly the comp controls are located on the rear of the unit and the compressors have their own points on the bay. Frank, I am curious what that other board you have to the right of it is!
Any of yall got a custom mini-console by a big maker like this? Let us know!
