	Dan Dudley (of [[MoG]]) and I bought this jointly (each contributing $900 -- in my case, using "consumer credit") sometime around 1994 when we were trying to turn the [[Red House]] into a recording studio (I can ''almost'' remember the name of the guy we bought it from... Dave somebody, ~~common-ish last name~~, ~~middle~~-~~aged...~~). Later, I bought out Dan's share rather than have the board sold off (I don't remember when this was; if it was as late as 1998, then I had the cash to spare). Unfortunately it started developing issues faster than I could track them down and fix them, so I had to quit recording until being cajoled into buying digital recording equipment (again on credit) for the ill-conceived [[Xmas CD Project]].

	Dan says he confirmed with one of the members of R.E.M. (I think it was Pete Buck, but I'm not sure; might have been Bill Berry), whom he met in some popular Athens bar, that this was in fact the same mixing console used at Mitch's Drive-In to do the original recording of "Radio Free Europe" and one or two other songs. That recording was used on R.E.M.'s original cassette release but not on the ''Murmur'' album. It was, however, re-released on the ''Eponymous'' album, and apparently the band liked it better than the more "professional" version on ''Murmur''.
