Avoid that (or work around it) and you should be able to get some decent work done. Still, I'd make sure I wasn't selling my firstborn to get one. It aint THAT good.
Let me clue you in on something - ANY console made in the late '80s that has not been maintained well is likely to have crackly pots and faders.
