If you still have issues, you know those issues are within the console itself.

« Last post by Jdm5149 on Today at 12:54:19 PM »Pics soon. Turned console on and as expected issues. I’ve changed a few bus switch’s on test jig for a few channels prior but now with all channels in I have about 30 to swap out. I might have just about that many spare 👍. The main issue are there are a few channels where the cut is constantly on and also I’m unable to cut the rest of the channels. I don’t think they can all be bulbs. Any ideas? I also have to set up the program disc to suit my board. I took pics of my 8” floppy settings so I’ll do that next. Also waiting for wd40 to work on of course one screw on the center section to unscrew. lol

4K,6K,8K Series / Console finally upright …..
« Last post by Jdm5149 on September 07, 2026, 05:08:17 PM »Well after 2 years in storage I finally got to put my 4000e/g on its legs. I bought it 2 years ago driving 24 hours with my wife to purchase. And yesterday it was both of us putting it upright. In these last 2 years I have posted many times and I would like to thank everyone that responded to my posts. I had many questions over the years. I’ve cleaned every channel and redid every fader. They were really bad and now feel like new. Got a Mpower and one computer running so I’ll be booting it up hopefully this week. 👍. I’ll post some pics soon …..

4K,6K,8K Series / Re: SSL 4000 G+ — No Return on Channels 1–2 During Record Status
« Last post by tlmaen on August 29, 2026, 10:23:54 AM »If I understand your post correctly, you are working continuously in "Record" status. So, you don't change Status between recording and playback when using your DAW?
To me, that sounds more like a DAW issue than a fault with the mixing console.
I also always get suspicious when a fault occurs on two channels simultaneously...
Try patching a signal into the "Tape Mon" inputs 1/2, 3/4, etc. The signal should then appear on the mix bus (with "Record" status activated and the "VCA to Mon" setting engaged).
Or Crosspatching PT Out 3/4 with 1/2.

« Last post by Dave Dicson on August 27, 2026, 04:03:25 PM »Maybe the logic signals from the master section are not getting to the logic card on channels 1 & 2 from the bucket mother boards. Check the gold pins in the blue edge connectors on those mother boards. I have had issues with them in the past. Put a ribbon "bypass" jumper in to by pass the computer. If you replace the 50 way ribbon with a jumper under the faders, that total removes the computer and it's wiring.

« Last post by walrus on August 27, 2026, 11:00:55 AM »@gollito said swapping in a different channel had same problem, so can't be a Logic card switch problem.
Has this just happened and it was OK before??

Compare the positions to a working channel.
