Yes I have (thanks Michael & Wolfgang) & yes I will ...

But let's see if anyone already did it...
... if it's really worth it.

Do you remember the Phil Collins' "V" that had been dismantled & sold piece by
piece on Ebay a few years ago ?
THere was a custom Master section.
(I have a Pic in  my removed HD...Will try to find it for you.)

I wonder if the power section hadn't been upgraded to a stabilised one, &
symetric connections.
Otherwise what could it be else...?
& Phil probably needed Highest possible spec  to record the way he did things.

I'm currently working on it with an engineer to record it ...
we're having a look at possibilities... I'll  tell you.
