Urgent - Opinions needed! Any info on a Yamaha MR-1642 Mixer?

Hi! I have not to much time if I'm going to buy this unit. It looks old but high quality, but I'm really not sure at all. Old may just mean shitty! I'll get the mixer for about 100-150 Canadain, it has 16 tracks, four busses and VU meters. Here is just about the only image I could find. here's the other.

I'll be using this primarily to record in a home studio. I currently only have 4 tracks in (Delta 66) but I plan on upgrading. I need the mixer for live tracking and drums primarily. Will the preamps be noisy? Is this a old school mixer likely better sounding than cheap Behringer's today?

Anyways, ANY help or advice is needed. It looks like a steal but I am weary of buying some old, gigantic lemon.

oh, and if it helps..I do have a audiobuddy mic pre, I guess I can use that for recording final takes...
