All used analog consoles are going to require some work.With a little work & reg checkups they will stay in service for many years.ANYTHING can be fixed.If you are going to keep a console,invest some money upfront & get it back up to spec & you are on your way.Neoteks are great desks

Look at it this way: At $6500 / 36 channels- $180.00 a channel or $8000/ 36 ch = $222.00 a channel that includes a mic pre & really nice EQ, PLUS the rest of the goodies that come with a console.Not too shabby.Budget some $$ to clean it up.

Know what you are getting into before you buy,but dont be afraid of a little work,there are some great deals out there.
