Console finally upright …..

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 …..

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

I suggest installing the computer bypass connectors. That way you can troubleshoot the cut issues independent of the computer.
If you still have issues, you know those issues are within the console itself.

k pics.  where theres a will theres a way lol !!  also pix of it turned on. kinda rushed it but tonight i might bypass computer and work one or two buckets at a time.  i bought it as a 32 ch with a spare bucket so im short one bypass plug. ive since purchased 8 channels to fill it up  k

so today i bypassed computer and only switched on 24 channels. issue continued so i picked 8 channels that seemed to be responding ok. i then transferred those to 1 - 8. i kept console to just first bucket then ;

                         ch 1 - 8 were put on vca 1
                         vca 1 - 8 were put on zero
                         pressing solo on ch 1 - 8 does nothing for either bucket
                         pressing solo on vca 1 cuts all other vca but not ch 1 - 8
                         pressing solo on vca 2 - 8 cuts all other channels on both buckets

also when pressing vca to meters vu switch but faders do nothing. i finally got last screw out of of center section but now the channel pull tool seems to not catch that good. might have to redo threads or make new tools. k thanks for any suggestions
