Applications
Graham Patton Systems was a U.S. manufacturer of broadcast audio consoles used primarily in television stations, cable access facilities, video duplication houses, and post-production studios. The Model 608's VCR A/B/C source routing reflects its design for multi-VCR playback environments common in broadcast and video production facilities from the late 1970s through the 1990s — a period when VCR-based editing and tape dubbing were standard workflows. The Proton section label indicates integration with a companion routing or signal processing unit in a matched system. Consoles of this type handled mixing, level control, and output routing for on-air and production audio, typically interfacing with a facility's patch bay, routing switcher, and recording equipment. Today, units like this are sought by vintage broadcast collectors, small community access studios, and enthusiasts restoring period-correct editing suites.
This Graham Patton Systems Model 608 Audio Mixer has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The console shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with age and prior professional use. The wood side panels are intact and presentable, and the front panel controls, faders, and VU meters appear clean and complete. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but it was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
