Description: For sale is one super-cool looking remnant of when the universe revolved in transistorized analog orbit while the ubiquitous ones & zeros were simply kindergarten child-play elements of the its era. It is very well built to say the least and it's hard to ignore its stunning presence with a superb sound that is hard to beat...The legendary Citronic sm-440 with equally elusive Citronic eq-230 ten-band graphic equalizer (photos 1-to-10) Made in the UK importer of some outstanding music related products of the mid-century, an extremely robust mixer built upon discrete components utilized with a proven reputation for quality to anecdotally withstand the test of time into the next century. This almost impossible to find Citronic sm-440 mixer & 230 propriety graphic eq combination function in tandem as they both share the same power-supply and stunning design. Sitting in the storage indefinitely since the Reagan administration, significant amount of time invested recently in this restoration project included but not limited to: opening the unit layer-by-layer, replenished all pertinent electronic parts and switches to assure proper signal contact. Re-glued and secured loose tact-switch caps, replaced VU meter bulb with LEDs and looking rather nice. Vigorously buffed, detailed clean every crevice and every line with some retouching involved in the refurbishing process and aesthetic makeover to arrive in this rejuvenated state. All channels have been tested including microphones and performed wonderfully ready to continue its service for many more years to come by niche djs, audio enthusiasts or the likes who seek for that unique warm sound character attainable only with classic electronics such as Citronic. So don't deny this rare 80's classic simply for posterity, looks or just the ultimate conversational display piece in your esoteric audio gallery with a few colleagues & contemporaries over a beer exchanging anecdotes and comparing "biases", "total harmonic distortions", "signal-to-noise-ratio" or maybe reminiscing 'bout the day when "analog ruled the world!" Hey, perhaps the epoch of analog discovery is in full-circle, yet again..just a wishful thought but who's to say? Own a piece of history and wonder no more! These Citronic legacy have seized in production and becoming a rare commodity, highly desirable and extremely sought after, so grab them while it lasts! Also up for grabs separately: 1. For your consideration: Selling an extremely well built, bound to be a classic mixer from Spain, the Mac 70i series (photos 11-to-22, $899) designed to satisfy even the most demanding DJ Professionals and A/V contractors in the business. The Mac 70i offers a myriad of audio configurations for any permanent club installation or mobile situations. Prior to posting, the unit has been bench tested and in full operational capacity. However, it will require a new crossover that can be easily obtained on line or manufacturer. You may even find a compatible crossfader if you're creative enough and handy enough due to such excellent layout design and accessibility, any or all faders can be replaced in a incredible ease. Retired and inactive from service for quite sometime and recently done the following: Hours spent given a 20-point tune up, deoxit all knobs and controls including all relevant connections to ensure proper contact, buffed and detailed clean every crevice to free from dust with even some retouching involved in the process. Like any vintage gears, trace of some minimal virtually inconspicuous signs of wear due to age is almost always expected, but in no way impede or even deflect your appreciation for its aesthetic beauty and functionality. You'll be hard pressed to find another of this exceptional condition no doubt. This mixer is no longer in production and now in hard commodity, so grab it while it lasts! 2. An extremely hard-to-find Citronic SM-250 DJ mixer (photos 22-to-24, $650) Recently performed a much needed TLC since sitting inactive perhaps for a decade. At bench test, here are the results: All channels pass signal including the main balanced mic but the 2nd "unbalanced" mic input is ideal for high-impedance mic like a condenser microphone, guitar, keyboard or similar. LED indicators for "output balance" and "pan" are out but does not impede normal operation. Shipping and handling may vary on location.Post Script:Ideal for serious incurable collector of all things analog, unique and in short supply with intent to build a showroom, I would consider to sell to the eligible buyer, a one in a life time find of some of the rarest extremely sought after cornucopia of Vintage, DJ, A/V and Pro gears in single Collection anywhere. Exceeding 3 decades of tracking down and literally thousands of man hours invested in refurbishing, restoring, repairing these amazing electronic wonders to accumulate such magnificent concentration of historical analog importance you've ever seen! Some are new, used and few are part of my on going passion in what I do. Nonetheless, all has given equal meticulous attention and care to arrive in the integrity they once were and will be hard pressed not to admire aesthetically.
