RCA BC-6B Tube Console 1955

This RCA BC 6B is the dual channel “Consolette” for studio use only. It was pulled from a working recording studio 25 years ago and has been in storage ever since. It's in really nice condition and is complete and looks to be completely original. It has 8 microphone inputs, two output channels and has cool features like simple panning between the two outputs (left or right) and being able to insert a eq or compressor on the outputs. I will include a PDF of the manual or you can easily download it online. As I said it was in excellent working condition before being pulled 25 years ago, it will need to be brought up slowly with a variac to reform the caps so it is being sold as is, and as with most vintage gear, it should be gone through to be brought back to perfect condition. All transformers are tested and are good. I also have a very nice BC 3 listed on Reverb and it is pictured with the BC 6 in some pictures, they would amazing linked together. THIS AUCTION IS ONLY FOR THE BC 6.This will need to be shipped by freight, I will assist with this but shipping is the buyers responsibility.
