That's a good point. There's a very big difference between getting a
clapped out, as is, end of useful service life for an institution
console for salvage price and getting a restored, plug and play desk.

There are lots of stories about getting similar Neoteks for cheap or
even free. I purchased mine for a good price, but after countless
hours of research and sourcing parts I have at least $5-6k in the
thing- not to mention the down time. If someone can pick up a fully
functioning desk without the months or years of hassle there is
definite value there.
Either way, there is much more than $6k of functionality and great
sound in that desk, provided it is in fully working order.
Good luck with the sale-

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 /
