Since then I've had colleagues of his contact me trying to find him. Supposedly he lives in the the bay area somewhere.
Flickinger consoles were famous for starting on fire because 2 different consoles delivered in Nashville actually burst into flames during sessions. Class A consoles run very, very hot!!! I myself never had this problem. In that 281 console Dan had actually use Spectrasonic EQ's.
You are probably not going to find any info on these as just about everything he did was a one off.
What you have is very, very rare. Flickinger probably copied what looks to be a Pultec EQP1A3. I also probably has op-amps for the make-up gain (if it makes up the gain-loss at all).
I myself would not sell this EQ (I really regret selling that 281 console). If it sounds like a Pultec with it's historic build quality (Flickinger built stuff physically really well and component wise as well), I would say it has the same value or close to the same value as the solid state EQP1A3 which Fletcher told me in the past is about 3 to 4K each depending on condition.
Good find! Plug it in, use it and report back. If you ever want to A/B it with the pultec's and happen to live near upstate NY just let me know. I'd love to hear how these things sound.
Have fun!!!
