Free: Vintage Home-brew Maplin Stereo Audio Mixer for Restoration (Bishopston BS7) Gifted This was constructed from the Maplin Electronics "Extra High Fidelity Stereo Mixer" kits available from the late 1970s and early 1980s and designed by Peter Cole. My budget didn’t stretch to buying the enclosure, so I made one myself. There are no mic inputs, just line, and no tone controls. It powers up. I haven't used it for decades so not sure how usable it is now. I will provide copies of the schematics and build documentation. There's about a mile of cable in there, and of course, it's all built with leaded solder. Expect noisy pots and switches, dry joints and mysterious hums. To help me choose who I should give this to, please say a few words about what you would do with it.
