Dave Hultsman recalls: The Mark 8, 212P-1/Mono or 212P-2 /Stereo. Console had only a program buss and cue. Used the Mosfet switches to turn channel on and off. The mechanical latching switch was the weak link. Worked well around RF, had plenty of headroom on the program Amp, a great monitor amplifier and a great and powerful headphone amplifier.

Designed by Jack Sellmeyer. Made by Collins and Continental.

 

212R Designed by Jack Sellmeyer.  Marketed as Audio Rock 10

Our thanks to Dave Hultsman for his recollections and help in gathering pictures and information.
