Here's one, but it's been for sale for quite a while, I think (I'm pretty
sure I've seen this same pic on another site before it showed up on Primal
Gear's):

Actually I've seen prices all over the spectrum for these desks... low end
around $2k-$2500, to as high as this one shown.

I think they're a great basic console - especially for rock; it's really got
the right "voice" for that - though it's been an awfully long time since
I've used one... how's the sound hold up after all these years?

I'm interested. Keep me in the loop if you end up selling it. I've been
eye'ing the Trident and Oram stuff lately and like their work. I was
planning to pick up up new or used series 24 console.
