Good idea? any words of wisdom please. Phil

Hi Phil,

I can tell what I know about Sela 2880 mixers.

First, this mixers was made by SELA "Svenska Elektronik Apparater AB"
in Stockholm, Sweden.
The first made mixers in the 1960´s was build with old
germaniumtransistor then they use silicon transistors and then
op-amplifiers (ic-circuits).

This mixers have a very good reputation in the film/motion picture
industries through the years.

When SELA start to design with op-amplifiers they use a very early
generation of op-amps like uA-741 and Amelco 805, and they have a very
hard sound with bad Sssss problems.

Maybe this mixer you have find are later version with newer op-amps.
