For sale: second hand studio gear

...which might not be such a big deal, unless you're talking about stuff coming from John Lennon's very own home studio at his Tittenhurst Park home near Ascot, UK.
Lennon built the studio around 1970 after his departure from The Beatles and went on to record his Plastic Ono Band and Imagine albums there, before sodding off to NYC.
The gear is to be auctioned off by recording equipment specialist seller MJQ Ltd who are also putting an Abbey Road mixing desk up for grabs. Lennon's microphones alone are expected to fetch around 5,000 quid each.
Don't all shout at once.

Bizarrely a coffee percolator owned by Starr who later acquired Lennon's home is also being sold. Sadly the Tittenhurst toilet (aka Lennon Loo) was already sold off last year for £9,500.
