I just received my V78 back from Tab-Funkenwerk where it was given a clean bill of health. Eventually, I want to get a 2nd V78 and rack mount them and my other Telefunken modules. But in the interim, I need some way to support the V78 module so its not just sitting loose on a shelf.

I just had a great conversation with Oliver at Tab-Funkenwerk. I had sent him a V78 to inspect and service that had I found on Ebay for way less than the usual price. He told me that the unit was in "like new" condition and that all he recommended was to replace the power supply capacitors.

I've been picking up old Telefunken solid state modules whenever I can find them for almost free prices on Ebay or the local classified ads. I have picked up some incredbily well constructed and great sounding gear for almost no money. My latest find is a Telefunken ELA E130b, a two channel module that can control the stereo image width of MS or XY signals.

I've just found a Telefunken TAB T-30 channel strip + compressor strip (lifted out of a console) but can't find any info out about it. I bought it on ebay because it looked cheap ($200) and I'm a sucker for impulse buys. I can buy a duplicate for the same price If i agree to do so now (i.e. before the first one arrives ) but I'd like to know a bit more about it. Can anyone help ?
