Hello-

I have a mostly functioning 2000 Mackie 24-8 for repair or parts. Mike
R suggested parting out may be best. Except for the light bulb scorches
under the a analog bridge VU's, the mixer is beautiful. All sliders are
as new, no noise, power supply is perfect. I'm the original daddy & it's
in a private smoke free studio. I'd rather not ship this monster whole,
as that costs over $100.

It has 2 problem aux channels (need hot input level to wake 'em up) and
a phantom being in the Group 1 buss. All other functions are fine. If
you're a wiz, you could repair if you promise not to ask questions on
the Mackie forum ;o)

If you're in Central Florida, you could come to the studio to demo it
and I'll help you load it in the car. I know the power supply is worth
a few hundred and the bridge -- who knows?

Mark, can you tell us what cable revision the internal ribbon cables are?

Tim:

Actually, there have been no cable revisions. It's an all original 2000
24-8 (that's not good is it?)

Well, let me put it this way, my 32-8 now mostly has revision H cables. I
believe all earlier versions suffered from a manufacturing/assembly defect
resulting in lots of intermittent operation and outright non functionality.
(a few are REV G)

At the time of my acquisition of a used unit Mackie was kind enough to send
me a complete kit even though I was only requesting a single cable at the
time.

I replaced the easy cables to cure the apparent problem. However eventually
I spent the time to upgrade all of them. It is a painstaking tedious time
consuming project.

By removing about 40 screws the bottom cover comes off allowing on to easily
read the marking on the ribbon cables.
