This is a beautiful sounding console from the 70's, built for broadcasting, with classic transformers, transistors, inductors and discrete electronics.  It sounds very much like a classic Neve console, and has the same type of "Larger than Life" sound.  

It's also in need of some love to bring it back to it's former glory.  It's missing modules, hasn't been powered up in years, and needs a good cleaning and lube job to restore the contacts and switches.  For the right person who is willing to get under the hood and get dirty, this can be a real treasure.  Compare to the price of a Vintage Neve, and there's a lot of console here for short money.
