SSL 125K (circa 1987)
The SSL 125K looks like a model name, but the surviving record suggests it isn't one. The only period source found is a classified ad. In the "Vintage Used" section of Mix (June 1994, p.199), under the heading of previously owned consoles from Solid State Logic, a 1987 SSL 6048E console - carrying the descriptors TR and RP - was listed at $125,000. "125K" reads as the asking price, not an SSL model designation.
No SSL literature, period review, or spec sheet for a separate "125K" model has been found. Other classifieds from the same stretch of Mix follow the same pattern, with an SSL 4048E IR at $120K and a 4064E/G at $190K (August 1994, p.229). The K-suffixed figures are prices, not model numbers. If the page stands for anything real, it stands for a late-1980s SSL 6048E passing through the used market at that price.
Everything else about this entry is undocumented. No identity, specifications, or history beyond the 1987 vintage and the 1994 asking price can be stated with confidence.
