great deal actually!
today I'm in the same situation as Randal last week:
I've been watching eBay for several months, looking for a board to fit with my TSR-8. I'm so desperate that yesterday I bid on a M-208 in NY (120$ shipping, I'm in France
). Fortunately I lost the auction (it went up to 244$, plus shipping
):
today there's a 216 on local pickup for 150€ (240$)!
I will have the opportunity to see it, but not to test it I'm afraid.
What should I take a look at, in order to assess its good/bad condition?
I'm also a bit afraid of the size of this 16-channel board, so here's another question:
Does it fit in a rack anyhow? I guess not, but not sure.
I don't have a dedicated room for music, and need to room the stuff every time I'm done with recording...
Thanks in advance for your great advice as always!
