what's this?

It is a mixer and manufactured in germany, but I don't see any labels.

What I can see is knobs labelled "bässe" and "höhen" (bass and treble)
some kind of aux send for an internal reverberation system etc.

Can you guys help me?

Where did you find the original pictures?

What it is? Probably a museum piece. Looks like a broadcasting or recording studio console from the early sixties. Could be built by hand. More clues about it's origins can be found at the back and/or on the inside.

I made the photos myself. Nothing on the back and I Didn't had the time to look inside by now.

EDIT: I hoped to get some infos without having to look inside

Sorry for the poor quality (mobile phones cameras

Looks like a radio station mixer homebrewed.

The knobs looks like those on some mellotrons:

Lots of boards were built as one offs for whatever the application was, including ones at Abbey Road! The inclusion of faders probably gets you into the early seventies, if that helps.

You may have a more boutique, custom built desk that never was manufactured in the traditional sense.

It's a cool looking piece, almost like a modular synth.

Keep us posted!

Please, use proper titles for topics.

How about "What is this old gear?"

Annoying with titles saying "Help..." and similar.

That large "B" looks like it could be the manufacturer's logo.

Behringer?

And whose property is it? He's not able to answer questions about it's origin?

Nope, he got it by chance.
But I can have it if I want to.
The only problem is: my wife's gonna kill me if I bring in more equipment

Okay, let's see if you can tell me
