Selling an ex-LucasFilm Lexicon 224XL rackmount unit, w/power supply and six original cards, as a parts unit. Or you can buy a clone LARC and
SBC board, fabricate a front panel for it, and you'll be off and running as the owner of one of the best digital reverbs ever made.
ABOUT THE LEXICON 224XL: The 224XL is a classic vintage reverb released in 1984, and used on
hundreds of hits back in the day, and in many LucasFilm movies, since this one was owned by LucasFilm (Star Wars / Indiana Jones / Labyrinth, etc.) as shown by the sticker on the back panel. It still sounds incredible in the
modern studio. The 224XL fits so well in
the mix, perfect for drums, vocals, anything you throw at it.
FUNCTIONALITY: Unit not been tested for functionality. All the boards appear to be populated as shown in the photos. I bought this as a spare parts unit some time ago
but never got around to using it (I don't own a fully functioning 224XL to test these cards in). It is
missing: 1) front panel (can be fabricated and silk-screened) 2) LARC
remote and cable (a clone is available and originals show up
from time to time) 3) SBC board (clones are available online). 4) May need a new power switch and power LED installed. The OPT
slot was for an optional NVS memory board, a clone of which is also
available online.
INCLUDED: Lexicon 224XL case, DMEM, T&C, ARU, FPC, AIN, & AOUT cards (as shown), integrated power supply (standard US Voltage). DISCLAIMER: Shipping a vintage item means that things can
shift and connections
between chips and sockets can shift and it is possible that servicing
may be required after
arrival. Many chips and components are very rare and difficult to
source, and can easily be swapped out with faulty components. As such, I
do not accept returns on vintage gear. I
have a lot of experience shipping vintage equipment and will make sure it
is well protected on its way to your door. ABOUT ANALOG KALAMAZOO: For
the past 25 years (when I haven't been making music) I have spent my
spare time scouring the Internet and pawnshops around the world
collecting, repairing, and maintaining only the most pristine examples
of each
piece of gear I could find. I have driven (and flown) many miles to find
the best examples for my collection. My interests include vintage
synthesizers, drum machines, effects, guitars, and basses, with a focus
on the "golden era" for each category. Each piece has been meticulously
maintained, serviced,
and used in my air conditioned, non-smoking, fully functioning recording
studio. I have recently decided to downsize and streamline my studio by
selling off key pieces of gear, some of which are nearly
unobtainable in such pristine, fully-functioning condition. I have been
buying and selling gear since the mid-90's, with a 100% feedback rating
on the main auction sites. I pride myself on my packaging skills and
have
received positive feedback for the same.
