Hi
Yes it works fine never tried the light controller though
This console was from a nightclub on the Isle of Wight and just ran on its internal amps
Ive just got a Kansas as well same but without the tape deck Will get some more pics up tomorrow if it ever gets light

Your PPX amps look fantastic especially the 1600 Did those 900`s come from the factory clearout they look mint or have you cleaned and refurbished them yourself ?
The consoles look amazing as well those Avons look like they have come new out of the boxs
You seem to like your Studiomasters as well I also collect H/H but am handing most of them over to Andy of the H/H Amplification website In exchange for Citronic gear I guess you have seen it
I have loads more Citronic to take pics of There will be more to follow over the next few days
It seems funny but the PPX900 seems to be going for peanuts on Ebay at the moment I got one recently that was listed spares or repair all I can find wrong with it is missing front grill and control knobs missing covers
I would prefer one PPX to any of the newer amps that are about With the exeption of the obvious Americian "name" amps of course

Most of mine came from a large install in a conference centre on the south coast MH,where they were used for vocal pa,and had never been out on the road,so other than a little dust,they were "as new".
Here is an unusual one,its badged as "chrysalis retail entertainment",but it is,of course a later PPX600.Citronic built these for chrysalis for the install market...the last of the english-made citronics....i dont think this particular one has ever been used.

Thats an early one MH,with the garrard sp25mk4 decks,the Kansas was another bigger version of the Hawaii,with amplifiers built in...2x100watts,but as with all these old consoles,they sound far louder than the figures suggest.

MH, I had one of those too! I fitted mine with a pair of dual hi-fi turn tables with vari-speed (the first consol I could mix on) another great console with wicked sound quality for the day!
it's such a crying shame Citronic were sold off just imagine what kit they would have been producing now days? they were a really nice bunch of people too, great to do trade with!
@ Ian, I know it's slightly of topic, but do you have any ice electrics kit or pictures?

Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes!

Well I never knew that!, ICE were taken over by Citronic? - and were based in Haslemere, all of 7 miles from me.....small word.
I remember quite liking some ICE kits - but having bought into Citronic and Pulsar, my way was paved. Edited by GregM - 19 December 2009 at 10:59am |

Funny how you can forget stuff you used to sell so much of until you see a price list like the one above?
and also amasing the info people on this forum have on products that are so old, when we closed the shop all of the imformation was chucked in the skip along with countless bits of equipment! the only thing I kept was tech drawings (and I don't know where any of them are now) I at one time had complete sets of drawings for HH, Harrison, Citronic, Cloud, Crown and countless others that have all got lost over the years pretty sad really!
Mh. thanks for the pic of the ice mixer, most people seem to have forgotten them now! but all this stuff was top gear in them days and I shudder when I think of the crap avalable as pro-audio gear compared to the early stuff.
I don't suppose anyone has a pic of the citronic system 80? Edited by colint - 18 December 2009 at 8:27pm |
