Control console

This is the view from the WLOF air chair in about 1968. Cart machines on the left, Gates console. Mechanical digital clock, flip cards, "A list" songs on cart, backtimer and 2 more cart machines needed for news you can dance to. It's an RCA 77DX ribbon microphone on the boom with weather filter mic. On the floor was the stompswitch for the multiple spring echo for REVIVE 45s etc.. There's the trusty phones and the program log among other things.

Taking a look to the right from the air chair you can see the turntables. And what have we here? It's local keyboard player Lou Gold who has come to the studio after a Friday night gig to play background music for my graveyard show.

And from the other side of the turntables it looks like this. I actually believe this is an earlier photo since the contest phone is on the rack behind me to the left. As a junior jock, I thought the only reason to be there was to talk to girls on that phone. Later, Tom Seigfried the program director gave me the bigger picture. But I think I threw it away.

A late Sixties shot of The Doug Van Allen Show. Doug is operating under a handicap. One of the cart machines has been removed by the trusty engineer and will no doubt be back before Christmas.

In the late Sixties a wall was constructed around the control console to keep noise, distractions and parties to a minimum. The Led Zepplin promo hanging from the ceiling took on its own personality.
