Lovely Studiomaster 8-4 mixer (questions!)

Hello!
I recently acquired a Studiomaster 8 into 4 mixer that I plan on using alongside my Tascam 388 and likely other Fostex cassette multitrackers too. I am wondering if there is anyone who has knowledge about the Studiomaster mixer: thinking naturally about the EQ/pres and noise of the circuit; considering the comparative strengths of each the 388 and 8-4 during recording (pre's/output) and for post-production (mixing)

I have yet to use the Studiomaster for post-production mixing; actually, I failed in trying to do this: using the Tape Out function on my Fostex XR7 to test the Studiomaster I didn't get any signal to the monitor or pres (I think this is a failure of the connections at the XR7s tape outs).

Thank you! I look forward to hearing about other's experience with this fine mixer as I have thus far found it to be a true gem, during recording, in build quality and EQ (very fine, strengthy)
 
Not sure exactly what you want to know about it... It's "Eh" - It's okay. The preamps are likely going to be better than the preamps on the cassette recorders. Everything else is going to function however it's patched in.

For the record - "Mixing" isn't "post production" -- The two are unrelated. "Post-production mixing" is like "post-eating meal preparation." Mixing is probably the most involved (though not entirely the most important) part of the production process.
 
Ive seen these mixers they seem to have been made before the Homereccing rennasance...so they were geared toward pro or Demo studios...I was going to get one once from a pawn shop but it wouldnt power up.
 
I recently came across a Studiomaster 8-4 mixer also, totally new to this stuff, anyone know where I might find a manual?
