THIS MACKIE MIXER IS ONLY BEING PARTED WITH BECAUSE I RECENTLY MOVED, UPGRADED, AND NO LONGER HAVE ROOM FOR IT, BUT IT WAS THE MAIN MUSIC RECORDING STUDIO BOARD AND HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL LOVED AND CARED FOR. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT.

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ONLY A FINE, FUNCTIONAL PIECE OF AUDIO GEAR, BUT A HIGHLY-COLLECTIBLE PIECE OF ELECTONIC MUSIC HISTORY AS WELL, AS MANY, MANY CLASSIC HARDKISS BROTHERS RECORDS AND CDS WERE WRITTEN, RECORDED AND MIXED ON THIS BOARD, INCLUDING DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR, RAINCRY, THE PHOENIX, ACID FUNK, YES, CRUCIAL INTROSPECTION AND COUNTLESS MORE. ACT FAST-- IT HAS NEVER BEEN FOR SALE BEFORE AND POSSIBLY NEVER WILL BE AGAIN. GET THE LEGENDARY WARM SAN FRANCISCO SOUND ON YOUR OWN RECORDINGS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY OWN AN INVALUABLE ONE-OF-A-KIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FOR POSTERITY. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

ORIGINAL OWNER. USED EXCLUSIVELY IN SINGLE, CLEAN PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO IN SAN FRANCISCO.

IT IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES AND DISCOLORATIONS FROM LABELLING TAPE. THERE IS ONE NOTICEABLE SCRATCH ON THE FRONT PANEL, THE LITTLE RED MUTE LIGHT BULB NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON ONE CHANNEL (THIS IS THE INEXPENSIVE BULB ONLY, THE MUTE FUNCTION ON THAT AND EVERY OTHER CHANNEL STILL WORKS PERFECTLY), AND THE SCREWS ON THE METER BRIDGE ARE LOOSE BUT BESIDES THIS VERY MINOR STUFF, IT STILL WORKS AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC.
