GUARDRAIL: BLUE — G21 BASE DAMAGES

G21 flood-related base damages only. No enterprise multipliers, no Freeman Street.

Navigation: ← Return to Tab 101 (Property Damage Overview)

0) Scope & Evidence Posture

This nested page itemizes professional studio equipment, instruments, microphones, acoustic treatment, and relevant consumer/home electronics destroyed by the G21 flood. It provides receipts/photos/serials and model‑to‑model present‑day replacements.

All calculations, rounding and interest are performed in Blue Tab 002 (9% simple per CPLR 5001–5004). This page is evidence‑only.

1) Executive Totals (Original → Present‑Day)

  • Original total (compiled): $113,967.88
  • Present‑day replacement total: $198,586.56 (see §5 roll‑up & Tab 002)

2) Sub‑Category Detail (present‑day, no interest)

2.1 Consumer & Home Electronics — $36,403.79 (updated to match roll‑up)

  • TVs, monitors, media players, network/storage, small computing, headphones, portable speakers, etc.
  • Evidence: SKU links/quotes, photos, purchase history where available; like‑kind replacements for discontinued SKUs.
  • Note: Header total updated from $34,933.81 → $36,403.79 to align with the category roll‑up.

2.2 Professional Studio Equipment — Tekserve System — $107,403.82

  • Avid S4 24‑fader, Pro Tools HDX Core, current converters/interfaces, sync, plugin suite, Apple Mac Pro (current spec), Focal monitors, Sound Construction desk.
  • Expert validation: Affidavit of Judd Goldrich (Sweetwater) on technology obsolescence and manufacturer support cessation pre‑flood; industry‑standard replacements (Exhibits A–C).
  • Original Tekserve purchases (2008) total: $59,961.00 → $107,403.82 current replacement.

2.3 Tape Machines — $28,500.00

  • Studer A800 MKIII (24‑track configuration) + Tascam ATR‑60 (2‑track) — restoration‑equivalent replacement valuation.

2.4 Musical Instruments — $5,810.00 (updated to match roll‑up)

  • Guitars and keyboards retained in this category not claimed under Forced Liquidation (Blue Tab 106).
  • Note: Header total updated from $5,510.00 → $5,810.00 per category roll‑up.

2.5 Professional Microphones — $13,639.00

  • Large‑diaphragm condensers and dynamics with Clinton Recording Studio provenance; serials/photos where available.

2.6 Acoustic Treatment — $1,600.00

  • Panels, bass traps, and mounting hardware (room‑equivalent replacement).

2.7 Missing Electronics Items — $5,229.98

  • Smaller electronics documented by photos/notes (e.g., headphones, loopers, pedals, portable speakers); priced at current equivalents.
  • Purpose: Tracks items documented but not captured in prior receipts lists.

De‑duplication controls:

– Large instruments claimed in Blue Tab 106 (Forced Liquidation) are not counted here.

– Dell systems formerly listed in General (now 101.5) have been migrated here to avoid double recovery.

3) Methodology & Guardrails

  • Model‑to‑model replacement; for discontinued SKUs, use current equivalent with comparable capability/quality.
  • Technology obsolescence: Affidavit explains why replacement (not repair) is required (manufacturer support ended pre‑flood).
  • Evidence discipline: native PDFs/scans for receipts; photos; serial numbers; SKU screenshots; filename convention YYYY‑MM‑DD_VENDOR_ITEM_$AMT.pdf.
  • No local math: all dollar math/interest is in Tab 002; this page is evidence routing only.

4) Court‑Use Features (Evidence Map)

  • Expert testimony: Judd Goldrich (Sweetwater) affidavit validating:
    • Obsolescence methodology and $59,961 → $107,403.82 Tekserve replacement,
    • Support cessation predating the flood (June/Aug 2018),
    • Industry “same or similar model of equal or greater value” standard.
  • Exhibits:
    • Exhibit A: Sweetwater Replacement Specification (pricing)
    • Exhibit B: Original Tekserve Receipts (2008)
    • Exhibit C: Expert Qualifications (J. Goldrich)
