just got one of these bad boys for only 20 bucks at an estate auction. i'm not much of an electronics guy, but i just ran it for 20 minutes, plugging my guitar straight into each channel (6 of them), flipping each channel to "INST" (as opposed to LINE, or MIC), and using my DT880 headphones to test it as much as i could. i noticed that only 3 of the channels still run decently, and it's got some background noise. on the three good channels, the clean output started sounding a little distorted (crunchy?) when i started playing a little hard (might just be how analog stuff works). the EQ works perfectly, but i'm not too sure about the dB display. also, the fuses appear perfectly fine.
idk if you can tell, but i'm stoked about this find. there are some that go for hundreds on ebay. what worries me is that it needs some work, and idk how to work on it, though i'm definitely willing to learn if i can. i've downloaded a PDF manual from google, but since i'm not an electric engineer, idk how to fix it ( ). is there anywhere legit that i can take this and get it fixed? or is it possible that fixing it myself could be easier than i currently believe? (i DID manage to build my own PC - lol)
i really want to fix this so it sounds as good as new, but i just don't know where to start at the moment.
