For instance we've just acquired a MBI series 16 desk for a local
community radio product and thats fine, and an Audix desk despite being
around 20 years old the insides look no different to the day it was
built and it too works fine

Hmm. Most analogue broadcast desks are replaced long before that because
the switches and pots are shagged. Of course if it uses VCAs exclusively
they may be ok.


They use linear faders Penny and Giles in the second instance, operating
VCA's and that very one is still in the P&G catalogue!..

The MBI only had one pot changed, the monitor headphone volume all the
others are fine even the Alps long throw faders and even so there're
only a few minutes to change..

And the measured performance is excellent too!..
