Restoring an Old Mixer part 3

In addition to the Studiomaster 4 into 8, I've got some other dusty old 19" rack gear. So for the last part of this series, I built a cheap and simple rack to hold my now-fully-functioning mixer and other rack units. This was accomplished in no time at all thanks to the assistance of my dear friend Varun (aka Zebra, Benjamin Sisko & Space Trash). It's made out of wood (3 pieces) held together with L-brackets. For mounting the gear, we screwed threaded metal inserts into the wood corresponding to the holes on standard rack rails. It turned out good! Check the pictures. I've got a link here to download a little mp3 of my favorite drum machine (SCI Drumtraks) with EQ/pan/effects applied to individual drum sounds using the mixer. In case anybody is curious the other rack units from top to bottom are Ibanez DUE400, Zoom Studio 1204 and Kawai XD-5 (my secret weapon!).

Looks pro man!


Light it up!


Most of the cords are hidden.


Replaced missing slider knobs with red screw protectors.


The End.
