That particular Ramsa was one of their "smaller" boards and was manufactured in the 80s to compete with the better Yamaha models.
It was quite nice-for it's time- and their reputation for reliability was very good. That model was designed for live sound use, but could be used for recording,too. As far as value, I don't believe that it carries much resale value. I saw one last year in a local music store for under $500.00.....

AudioTracker1 wrote: Hey everyone. quick question, does anyone, know, what the value of the Ramsa, WR811 would be worth, when, they first came out? this board, has 18 balanced inputs, 4 buses, sweepable eqs 8 and 12 k on the highs, and 60 and 180 on the lows. 2 sends per channel. etc

anyone, know what these are worth these days, are they any good? what would be a value, new, and, mabey used by today. used but, in good condition with no noise.

thanks

I have this board and feel that the pres are better than a Mackie VLZ. You can also replace the opamps to lower the noise and improve the sound of the pres. Every single channel is on a seperate board, so it is easy to service.

Mine was around $600 five years ago. I think they have dropped in price quite a bit since then. Somewhere around $375 - 450 is probably a fair price.

very much aprreciated. and, that is exactly what i paid for this one, i am getting. 400.00 exactly.

please, tell me more about replacing the opamps. ?

how much does that cost>

and what can i expect from it?

thanks, man

just to follow up on this. I ended up purchasing a Ramsa WR-T820B, for dirt cheap, and, its downright awesome. Very clean, very easy to use, very warm sounding. its big and dirty, and, i am loving it. bigtime. I would recommened it to anyone. looking for a little analoge, in this digital world of ours.
