Ex Gary Brooker of Procul Harum his Itam 10/4 Ted Fletcher designed vintage analogue studio mixing desk console

As far I know, this is a Ted Fletcher designed Class 'A' Mixer and as I cannot find another like it, wonder if this was a special or prototype made for Gary or Procul Harum.

One of only a handful similarly built likely by the HamPro Audio Company, Eton, Berkshire who I understand, later became StudioSpares (Barry Lambden).

It is a classic '10 into 4' setup with four quality VU meters on a raised bridge. Possibly a 1862 model or earlier bespoke build as mentioned above.

I do not know how to test it but it switches on and appears that two of the VU meters bulbs are not functioning. Any buyers are welcome to come and take a look in person prior to purchase. As you will see from the photos, it is very clean inside, the outside has some pencil marks for settings and some very old tape marks which will come off but I have left on for originality as its how I got it. - There is a small bit of damage to the wood in one corner as shown. The original fabric dustcover is included in the sale as has been covering the mixer in the storage rack since last used.

Additionally, there is also another plug-in board with similar connecters to all of the other boards but is very different to the others, I have included this in the sale as it was in the base of the mixer when acquired.

Ted Fletcher said "Technically, a modern digital mixer is superior in performance and the facilities and versatility is far superior old 60'/70's efforts, and yet the sound created from the Itam 10/4, the Alice 828/828S and other analogue mixers of the day, has comforting warmth and 'stability' that is missing from late electronics".
