Vintage passive EQ - Historical piece from Capitol NYC RCA Pultec Manley type For Sale

Up for sale is a true piece of Recording Studio history! 4 or 5 months ago I traded a pro audio dealer in Nashville for (2) of these Custom passive EQ\'s. From my understanding they are from 4 channels of the original console first installed at Capitol Records Recording Studio in NYC in the late 1950\'s. I\'ve spent quite a bit oftime trying to find a picture of thestudio during this time period, buthaven\'t seen it yet! (Preservation sound has some that get fairly close!) From what I\'ve learned theconsole was 16 channels and had custom langevin pre\'s.Please check out these pictures. In my opinion they did a great job in racking these EQ\'s up! Thefront face plate is veryclean and vintage looking. For each of the four EQ\'s there are Hi\'s mid\'s and low\'s. Two of the knobs are a bit loose- but this does not effect functionality. I will try to have my teck tighten them up before sales end. Each of the inputs and outputs are hardwired to XLR pigtails. Please do understand that since these are passive there is no powergoing to them. You will needsome sort of amp to boost the signal to line level.
Toclarify, you are offerding on what is in the pictures. (4) passive EQ\'s racked together in one 4 space rack.I will try my best to post some audio samples within thenext few days so that you can actually hear these EQ\'s in action. They do offer the pultec vocal sound- but much more than that - just by plugging them into your audio chain- you can hear thegloss! And knowing that there\'s a very realistic chance that your using the same exact gear as the Beatles, Sinatra, etc -somehow makes it sound so much better!Added:I am guessing the the points are around:
LF 200 -5 - +3 dbMid 1K -3- +3 dbHi 10K -5 - +3 db
Please note that I am old and worn out! I was alwayshorrible to my golden ears CD training! I may be totally wrong here! Judge for yourself with the audio samples, OR - If anyone can read the resistors and do the math, I would be verygreat full to know the answer!In order to demonstrate these EQ\'s I recorded some samples through them atdifferent settings: Using a project that I am working on, I sent a bass, vocal and guitar through the EQ\'s and recorded each of the stepped output\'s You can download these filesfrom my dropbox folder located here: this dropbox folder you will find the following:An Audio Intro - Explaining the method used to record these samples.Vocals - Samples from each position of the EQ recorded in 24 bit WavBass- Samples from each position of the EQ recorded in 24 bit WavGuitar- Samples from each position of the EQ recorded in 24 bit Wav
