[BC] Sam Philip's Console-More Info

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

A little more on Sam Phillip's board.......
According to the book "Elvis, his life from A to Z", the console was an 
RCA 76D and was used on many of Elvis' first recordings including 
"That's All Right [Mama]". The book, by Fred Worth and Steve D. 
Tamerius, on page 168-169 says "the console serial @ was 1011 and was 
previously used in a Florida radio station". The photo in the book bears 
a striking resemblence to the photo link I posted but is missing the 
left side VU meter.
