Just bought a 50 year old Altec which has been upgraded to sound similar to a RS124, I have about ten different makes of compressors but nothing I have sounds like this

Pics to follow!

Thanks Frank,

There's also a lot about the Altecs in Recording the Beatles book which is a must

I had two of those, but sold one to fund a GT CL1S comp. I am hanging onto my last one, it is unique. Ironically, these were rescue units on the verge of being thrown in the dumpster.

Hang on to it a few more years, original RS124's are selling for around £30k!
