Thanks for great video Jeremy, have just completed cleaning and repairing 2 behringer mx 8000's, both with variouse electronic faults and brought them back to new condition. So was great to see your work on the mx9000. Much apreciated
Cool video. About a year ago, I did something really similar with a Mackie CR1604 mixer from the 90s. Like you, I watched every video on youtube to get some ideas of what the job was going to entail. While less channels than yours, very similar to the same stuff you dealt with. Fortunately, I didnt have any glued connectors so I had no trouble getting them off. I did try to source new slider potentiometers because there were many channels that were scratchy and/or would drop in and out. Unfortunately, I could not find any that would work without modification. So I decided to desolder all of the old ones and disassemble to clean them. Opening up faders to remove all the little components definitely takes patience.. That was obviously a big job but pretty much made them new again. I know jobs like this are beyond tedious especially considering hardware mixers are almost pointless in todays time but there is definitely something therapeutic about it. Anyway, enough rambling. Glad you got this mixer running again!
Thanks for checking it out. Everything I did is shown in the video. Fortunately, I didn't have to replace any switches or pots. They just needed to be cleaned.
@@anthonyscott3150 DeOxIT (D5). For a board like this, you'll go through at least 1.5 cans. As you spray the pot, turn it back and forth and you will notice almost an immediate difference. A little goes a long way.
Hi, this Behringer desk is copy of Mackie 24/8 bus. I have same desk and had same problem with buttons, also there is often problem with ribbon cables. Switches are still available and you can change them, it just need some effort since the PCB is 2-sided. :)
