       @tim I would have been shocked and disappointed if he didn't nail it!

       @RicardusHe used Neve desks. Hadn't heard of Electrodyne.

       @tim Electrodyne was a small but well liked American company. Excellent audio integrity. They later became Sphere. Here's the 48 channel Sphere that needs a restoration.

       @tim I worked at a studio with an Amek 9098i which was designed by Rupert Neve. He came to our studio to christen the desk so I met the man.

       @RicardusFIL met Rupert Neve in '64 and was asked to recommend a new colour for desk fascia. At the time, it was gloss Black (!) Ray recommended matt Blue / Grey.

       @tim So wait. Your FIL is the reason why all desks after that were battleship grey?!?!?!?!?

       @tim OK, that's it. I gotta come to England and hang out with you and another friend I have named Pete who owns a studio (with a Neve), and visit a few pubs. Possibly the Queen.

       @tim Wow. A conservative choice to be sure, but not a bad one.

       @RicardusThat would be cool. I think the nearest you'd get to visiting Her Majesty would be to visit a pub 2 miles from here called "The Queen's Head". ;)

       @tim Wait. The FIL isn't knighted? I was hoping he could arrange it!

       @RicardusActually, his big lament is that in those days, engineers got no credits on recordings - or very rarely. I think that would have sufficed, rather than a knighthood.
