via Zappa's Gear who's looking for more info on the highlighted modules. Anyone know what they are?This one in via Von Holt.
In order:
"The Output Mixer - was this an E-mu design?"
"Mystery module 1 - note the misaligned switches and sockets?"
"Mystery module 2 - some sort of output unit obviously - who made it?"
Below:"Mystery module 3 - looks like an E-mu module - what was it called?"
Update via Mark II Studio's in the comments: "I'm guessing here, but "Module 1" could have been an interface for a guitar... notice the letter markings, while not in correct order, they do represent the standard open string chord tuning for a guitar... "E, A, D, G, B, E" if they had a pickup that isolated each string that would match the jacks and panel setup... maybe early try at an Arp Avatar type situation?
But based on the lettering that's my best guess...
"Module 2" reminds me of a "matrix type mixer, and the bottom row to the right has a set of what appears to be "trim pots" possibly associated with the above left switches to match level control... again, just guessing, or could be also for C/V voltages more specific for triggers...
"Module 3" appears to be a module to interface directly with balanced recording consoles... I'd bet behind the panel between the swicthes and the XLR jacks are a bunch of line transformers screwed to the backside of the panel... "
