Agreed. I believe given their condition they will go up in value. Especially a full intact console because so many people split them up and have a few modules racked. Which I don't blame them depending on their circumstances and needs. I have about $10.000 in to my console it has some amazing upgrades its very unique. I have considered selling it as some of you may have seen. Every time I do a shoot or a mix it reassures me that it would be a devastating mistake. So it is here to stay I love it. I some times wonder about the newer Elans & Elites I heard that they are not as honest as the series 1&2's. I have no direct experience with the sound. However I did get a chance to see touch and feel a racked pair of Elans I can tell you the the quality level seemed to be on the downside compared to the series 1&2's. I can not speak for the sound because they were not working. Also the elans do not have the pull & pop eq. I heard there is a toggle switch that operates that function now.

A few years ago, I bought a 28-channel Series II for $6800.00, but it had been upgraded with Burr Brown ICs, the power supply had just been rebuilt by Mike Stoica, and a few other mods had been installed. It hadn't been recapped, though, so I did that and also cleaned up a bunch of previous "tech" work and some other miscellaneous stuff. As I plan to keep this desk until I retire from audio, I don't know what I'd ask for it these days if I did sell it. My guess is I would start at 10K or so and work down from there since the economy isn't what it used to be; however, I do think Neotek consoles are still in demand and will most likely remain that way.
