He did indeed! I modeled my console (that I use to this day) after one he 
had built by his studio engineer who was a moonlighter from Ampex.
He designed it for production. The guts of my board are Opamps but the look 
is retro. His main studio on Claude Lane was designed and built by an 
engineer from KQED-TV if I remember. That too was a work of art. Even if I 
was a 17 year old board op I loved those days at KSFR. Learned a lot from 
that "madman". I was surrounded by great classical music announcers.
