Vintage 28 Channel API console - $20,000 (North Hollywood)

Here’s the deal with this thing.
It was decommissioned in around 2006 and all cabling to and from the console was cut.
It went to various techs, who all quoted me more than I could afford at the time.
All EQ’s were taken out.
It has 36 empty slots for EQ.
All 28 channels of preamps are still in it.
Many of the 2520 opamps had been replaced long ago with clear John Hardy opamps.
There are some 2520’s still scattered throughout the board.
There are also a ton of Jensen input and output transformers, both in the channels and within the console frame.
All in all what’s there is: -28 preamps -36 faders -24 channel monitor section -VU meters -power supplies -some output cards -frame with patchbay If you do the math, it’s more than worth its price in parts, if they all work.
However, I have no way of testing anything.
I don’t know if the faders even pass audio, let alone if anything passes audio.
