Yamaha Vintage Consoles

I have certainly been neglecting our Japanese friends in this blog, as pointed out by Brandin, who refurbishes these beautiful consoles





Top picture is the Yamaha PM2000
Middle is M1532
Below that the PM1000

Brandin says:

"Great blog!!
....But, what about some of the Vintage YAMAHA consoles...PM2000, PM1000, M1532!!! Japan had it share of lawsuit Les Pauls.... maybe not exactly "lawsuit" but these monsters could be classified as serious knock offs at the very least! I only say this because I restore and refurb these beasts! Once the Recapping begins and a few transformers swapped ...perhaps gain stages and EQ adjusted... you will have something that will defiantly rival another console five to ten times its cost! Even without modification and all the bells and whistles added ...they are a unique part of recording history down to the schematic.

Your Blog rules!!!"

Thanks for getting in touch
