Default Ex-BBC equipment - But be quick if interested.

Next auction of ex-BBC equipment.

(Shame to see more interest in an upright vacuum cleaner than piles of ex-broadcast quality digital VTR's. Some day, someone somewhere will be desperate to play tapes on these. If only I had the room).

I have often thought there was a "bathtub" curve for the value of broadcast kit. It starts life costing a kings ransom, then as technology rolls on it becomes almost worthless and trundles along the bottom of the curve till after some long time it starts to rise up the other side.

Some of this looks dreadfully familiar - which department did it come from?

It was from the Archive section and I can see Post Production EAW barcodes on some items.

I looked at the 24-track A820 and was overcome with waves of nostalgia, remembering them cropping up in all manner of places (we'll gloss over the time I nearly crashed one into a wall in VT Area 4). I don't know where the A807s came from as in Studios we used A812s as we felt they were a bit more robust.
