Sam used a RCA BC 76 B series dual channel mono, as you can tell in the
picture.  I am looking for a manual so I can copy for another 76B console.
They started making them in the late 30's and they were built for a long
time.  Worked great and they would pass up to a 19-20 kc tone.  When
sweeping you would always see the inductive kick just above 15 kc.
BTW, I am almost 55 and can still hear 15 kc, that is pretty good I think.
Used 6SN7's my recollection is.  Only real trouble with that board was the 
pushbuttons that would get noisy or wear out after repeated use.  The
monitor speaker pushbuttons (colored a burnt red for main and black for 
audition) would wear the most because that is what you would use the most.

There has to be a bunch of guys on this list who saw and used those
consoles. Perhaps we have more who took them out of service.

Would love to have one and am looking for one.  Did own one until my
brother put it into a barn and it got wet.
