Extremely Rare TRIDENT A-Range Mixing Console Schematics on CD-ROM

Description

No one can deny the impact of British music, and electronics on the American recording industry. The advent of modestly priced mixing consoles like the Trident 60, 70 and 80 series  brought this English technology to the US recording industry.
The flagship of Trident's (Trident Audio Developments Limited)  line was the A-Range studio mixing console. This legendary console tipped the scales at over a 1/3 of a million dollars.There were only 13 of the consoles manufactured, with four of them going to Cherokee Recording in Hollywood.
This auction is for a
CD ROM
of an extremely rare, complete set of factory drawings, full size, blue prints of the console...every module and section is covered.
Normally, old blue prints are faded, and difficult to read. The blue prints scanned on this CD ROM  have been stored in plastic folders, away from the oxidation of air, and they are bright, clean and easy to read. Note the attached photos of a few of these drawings
This CD Rom contains high-resolution scans, all are 300 dpi. None of the drawings were reduced prior to scanning ... all scans are of original, full-size drawings, including the drawings that were 2 1/2 x 4 feet in size..  (As someone who has had to repair electronics with drawings that were copies of copies that were faxed on coarse resolution to the point you couldn't tell the difference between an NPN and a PNP transistor, much less read its designation, we took extra care to make sure all drawings are sharp, clear, and legible).  You can enlarge them onscreen without them falling apart.
These blue-prints represent a treasure trove of historical engineering information, invaluable to engineering designers, console builders, DIYers, and audio personnel interested in recreating the "English sound" of the 70's.
