DBX 503 Dynamic Range Expander. Original Rare Vintage!

Description: For your consideration: For sale is a DBX 503 three-band dynamic range expander (photos 1-to-5, $799) One of the first original released back in the day that was raved amongst the very best audiophile people in the music industry for the unique, unparalleled dynamics this machine is capable of. And perhaps still as relevant today in the compressed culture of ubiquitous ones & zeros. The unit works wonderfully, however, only half (yellow-region) of the 3-LED display lights illuminate, the other half (red-region) is unresponsive to signal but does not affect normal functionality what-so-ever. I'm to inundated with other projects to explore the culprit, on that note, the item is being sold in "AS IS" described condition. Also selling on another posting separately: 1. No introduction necessary, for sale is one of DBX's family of extremely sought after dynamic expanders, the most coveted DBX 3bx series III with impact restoration (photos 5-to-10, $1699) Prior to posting, inactive for some time, it recently underwent a barrage of necessary treatment, including but not limited to: opening the unit layer by layer and replenished all pertinent electronic components, re-solder critical points to assure signal contact integrity. Moreover, the outer-shell has been freshly spray-painted, vigorously buffed, detailed clean every crevice & every line with some retouching involved in the refurbishing process to arrive in this rejuvenated state. Bench tested and all functions work with flying colors! Given a good bill-of-health. This model has seized in production, very scarce and becoming a hard commodity. So grab it while it lasts! Like any vintage, some superficial imperfections due to age are almost always expected, but you'll be hard pressed to find one in this condition. 2. Highly desirable DBX 3bx Series-Two in almost unused state since acquired during the Reagan administration. (photos 11-to-14, $999) In immaculate and working state. Almost impossible to track down, yet it is extremely simple to use and very intuitive to navigate, it's a breeze to operate even for a novice analog enthusiast, no manual is necessary!
