We have recently helped restore and re-rack many of the channels for stand-alone operation and they still perform like champs.
Many hits have been tracked and mixed on (pre-Mitsubishi) QE consoles. Look at albums recorded during the 70,s and 80,s at studios like Shangrila Ranch, Village recorders, Motown West and many others where custom QE recording/mixing desks were installed.
Hits by Steely Dan, The Band, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Countless Motown hits, Stevie Wonder, etc................
These are just a few of the many studios and artists where Quad Eight figured very prominently in creating some of the most influential music in history.
Enloy your channels, they are signature pieces of the late 60,s and will definitely add to your recording pallete.

Thanks Ken, you're the one who racked them for me.

They blend well with my v72's, and I hope to get another 2 mm-71 strips to match someday soon.
