I paid $2K for my MCI JH-538C, but..... it is A LOT of work to get them into decent shape.
The EQ sections on most modules was almost completely useless because the cap had dried out.
I am doing a COMPLETE recap and there are close to 5000 caps in my console.
Figure on spending a lot of time with it.
When I am on a roll each module takes about four hour to completely re-cap.
There are close to sixty-four caps per input module.

Once completed, they are nice sounding consoles!
