I just did a session at Clinton this past week and it's a couple of 8078's
that
Ed has. I cut my teeth at Automated Sound in NYC in the early '80's and they
had a pair as well. I always loved that board. Can't say the same for NECAM,
though !

Automated had done some mods to their Neves IIRC. What I definitely do remember
is that they were the best sounding Neves of their generation I've ever used. I
wonder where those consoles ended up.
And yes, Clinton's Neves weren't (aren't) the same model as Hit Factory's was.
They also have a full monitor section on the right side, old-school style. I
still record there from time to time.
