audio arduino broadcast restore

This project was created on 04/05/2016 and last updated 9 years ago.

Description

Late in 2015, I acquired an older Western Electric broadcast console. I had bid on it via eBay in 2013, but lost to a person in Seattle who subsequently put it on sale himself. It was advertised as a Model 25b. My plan is to use this as the enclosure and interface for my digital studio.

I will be adding more complete documentation on my personal wiki at http://vis.nu/we/

    I've added the first project "updates" regarding my personal ruleset for this restoration project. That's available at : http://vis.nu/we/updates/the_general_idea

    Additionally, I've taken a bunch of photos of the board as it stands now: http://vis.nu/we/updates/before_photos
