Yesterday BBC Radio 6 visited Cargo Studios in Rochdale to check out some old gear Joy Division used back in the day. There's likely a feature that Radio 6 will be airing in the future about their visit, but for now they've posted a few pictures of the gear on Twitter Joy Division fans will want to check out.
