VINTAGE AUTOGRAM AC-8 AM/FM BROADCAST MIXING CONSOLE COLLINS
These do not come up often.   It Appears complete minus the power cable. We used one from another unit for powering up. it powered but the meters need bulbs.   No further testing at this time.
Came out of a working radio station.
A classic Autogram AC-8 stereophonic console, in many ways similar to the Collins/Rockwell products of the era. It even uses plug-in modules (some may be branded Collins or Rockwell) I think they started making items for Collins in the late '70s.The AC-8 usually runs up to 26 stereo inputs, 8 stereo mix channels, a stereo Audition and Program channels, and an extra mono (nominally Program) channel. The plug-ins of course determine the input characteristics. Many segments are populated as seen here.May be customized wiring, options, etc. that were, like many service consoles, added or altered aftermarket or in the field. It appears in very good shape for age. There are stickers and label residue here and there, as seen.  The desk is about 37.3 x 20 x 10 in. high .Of course, this is a used console, probably from the early-mid 1980s; you'll need to check out the wiring and connect inputs properly before use.
Due to age these items are being sold AS IS.
