In the 70’s and into the 90’s WBS used a Schadow switch in almost every product they built. Different buttons required different offsets so “GOLDEN RULES” of design were made up so each engineer was on the same page. I found two of those pages the other day and was fascinated. These drawings are both done by hand and are admirable.

APKaudio STUDIO/BROADCAST/THEATRE/TOURING/REMOTE MICROPHONE CABLE KIT CALCULATOR
I’ve been building cables for over 15 years now and I’ve finally created a small calculator to estimate the costs of making an XLR cable. In the process, I am now offering cable construction services to help pay for going back to school.
The prices are very competitive while the quality is second to none.
If you’re interested in getting a quote, please send me an email and I’ll shoot you the excel calculator. 4483@APKaudio.com

I put a bid on this amazing console… just so I could say “I bid on the Beatles console…” but I was forced to retract my bid because I entered the wrong amount.
