A company I used to do occasional work for had once owned a well-known recording studio, which had closed in the 1990's (along with all the others, in a minor example of a paradigm shift).

On the upper shelves in a corner of the workshop were boxes of spare parts. One day I had a look at what was there, and after recovering from my surprise, advised them not to throw any of it away as it was rather valuable and would fetch a substantial sum if auctioned (but if they did, please throw it in my direction...)

You can guess where this is going. Some months later, and in my absence, they had a clearout and skipped the lot.

Mechanical and electronic spares for Studers, Neves, SSL's, vintage condenser mic parts, a few KT66's...
