Hi

Not that it makes a darn bit of difference but I don't think it's an 8038.

An 8038 has stereo panning on the channels and monitors, using 1948 channel routing units.

That console is an 8048 because it has 1985/1 routing units that have quad (L-R + F-R) panning. Generally /1 means that it had "USA speak" silk screening.

Foldback replaced with Cue
Echo replaced with Rev.

If the Rev has a control panel that includes a Slapback function (reving the rev) the console was one of several custom consoles made for RCA records.

As another poster put, the consoles (sadly) are worth more in pieces than as a whole. It's worth at least $150,000 in pieces and hopefully as a whole.
