Up for Buy It Now, Best offer:
-- two (2) partially working original/vintage Focusrite (Rupert Neve designed) ISA 130 dynamics compressor/limiter/gate/de-esser modules
-- one (1) fully functional ISA power supply module in chassis.SOLD AS A PACKAGED PAIR WITH PSU CHASSISBoth of these modules power up and pass audio but both have some issues. I will try my best to describe their condition accurately. I would like the buyer to know what I DID NOT KNOW when I was purchasing these rare modules for far too much $$$$ (I thought I was getting a working pair). =( IF YOU ARE EXPECTING TWO COMPLETELY WORKING MODULES -- THIS IS NOT THE AUCTION FOR YOU!!SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS (NO RETURNS ON THIS AUCTION)
MODULE #1 (LEFT) ISA 130 module -
Power OK
Passes audio cleanly
Compression/Limiting/De-esser/Gate/Ex/Gain mostly operate as they should and sound quite nice - transparent compression (with a full body and nice tone)
Some of the switches are finicky
Some of the pots are dirtyMODULE #2 (RIGHT) ISA 130 module -
Power OK
Passes audio but there is some distortion especially in the low frequency
Compression/Limiting/De-esser/Gate/Gain have not been tested
Some of the switches are finicky
Some of the pots are dirtyThe LED metering on both modules is a bit funky and needs service.
Both could use a recap soonCosmetics are good (see pics)All parts and pieces are intact These rare, Rupert Neve-designed modules could be nice service project for someone who has the time and the know-how to repair these type of modules. There is a company called Thermal Relief Design that can repair these modules as well. Even in their damaged/partially working condition the LEFT module #1 is usable and sounds quite good on a wide range of inputs. The de-esser is working and is kinda great.The starting price is kinda high because I still find it very useful.
