Altec 436A Resurrection.
Brought back to life, the oscilloscope pic show how it arrived (that was its output with a sign wave on its input). I recapped the unit, added threshold, attack and release controls. Now its is a pretty amazing box.

Altec 1567A mixer hum, help needed
Forums
I got an Altec 1567A mixer and hooked up a line level signal (like a CD player) to input 1 octal socket pin 7 hot and 8 ground. Pins 5 & 7 are linked. The output is connected to output octal socket pin 7 hot, pin 8 ground. It has a bad hum/low frequency buzz, I think its the way its hooked up. I don't think its the unit itself and I tried lifting grounds on everything except the mixer.

Vintage preamps - Altec 1567a tube mixer - help?
Forums
I just purchased an Altec 1567a Tube mixer on ebay. I use an apple powerbook w/ mbox. I'm one of "those guys" who don't know sh*t about the schematics of vintage gear (yet), but am in love with their sound. I've been recording on everything TUBE and 2" machines at a few studios ... just never ran the stuff. I've used these as preamps before, and they definietly kick some ass...

Retooling an old Altec 1567 ?
Forums
So I apparently won the pre-amp lottery. I scored an Altec Lansing 1567A, 4 into 1 preamp, long ago in a garage sale for $5. As it turns out, unbeknownst to me, some are saying it's a great sounding pre. It's all hand wired, decades old, and sports a bunch of 12AX7's in the back of it.

Old Altec compressors
Forums
I have access to a restored pair of Altec C322A compressors. Anybody have thoughts on them? I'm not an old Altec guy, so I don't know if these are some of the wildly sought-after models. Any idea what they're worth? Thanks for the help.
