Thanks for rescuing it. Most of those places, if it doesn't sell, it goes straight into the dumpster.
The last analog switcher I worked with was an Ampex AVC. I remember changing a switch on it with only 5 minutes to spare prior to late news. The switch had shorted out and locked up the bus!
When we were purchased and moved into the new building, they bought a Grass Valley Kalypso digital switcher. I remember going to the in house school on it and it was all software.
