Yes, I bought a mint Series 1 (1985) from a university  16x8, molexed and
modular  with balanced auxs and balanced buss outputs in 2003 for
1800.00....  It was loaded 10x4, and was expanded with 1E channels and bus
modules from a beat up 12x4 bought from Juliard in NY, for parts /extra
power supply/ channels...etc. for 500.00 in 2004.... I am thankful that I
got it before the analog summing craze set off.... I imagine that the prices
for Neo's with their reputations have increases in the past couple of
years..... luv it to death! I recently finished an ENTIRE recap (with black
gates and Wima's)  The sound is astoundingly 3D and really warm....see it /

Subject: RE: NEOTEK: Console for sale


Well to offer my input on the $value of a Neotek I own two series 1
consoles. They are both modular with the molex pins.

The first was a 24 channel 4 buss on a stand, short loaded to 16 channels,
all input strips 1E. P&G faders, No patch-bay all 1/4" and XLR on the back.
It was in 99% working order. It was made in 1987 for CBS Chicago I believe.
I purchased it from Mike at Sytek refurbished for $4000. I bought it in
2004. According to Mike this was one of the last Series 1 consoles made.

The second one was a 16 channel 8 buss table top short loaded to 12 channels
all inputs had 3 band eqs. Alps faders, Not patch-bay all 1/4" and XLR on
the back I purchased it in 90% working order for $1400. It had lived in a
community college in Atlanta and was built in 1985. I bought it in 2005.

I feel that I got pretty good deal on both of these consoles but clearly the
difference in price was a lot. 

The other issue that has a big effect on price is location and shipping
costs. That is always a consideration for these things. 

Sorry for the long post just thought I could give a little insight from my
prospective.

Take care,
Jared
