[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 106781, member: 32"] Re: LS9 Fader Calibration Issues Ben, If the reports are coming back "NG", the faders are toast. If they are the old style faders without the cover, I recommend just doing them all now and getting it over with rather than waiting until the next batch fails. You can replace the faders one by one, but replacing the board is a much quicker way to do it labor-wise. You'll have to balance the labor cost between replacing single faders versus replacing the boards and being done with it. You may also want to do the battery while you're in there. It should go without saying, but back the desk up before going under the hood. Also, the parts cost should be a lot lower than $1100. You need two boards for the 32 - one that's 16 faders, and one that's 17 faders (16 + master). Even retail, it looks like your parts cost is more like $750.

The Yamaha part number for the single 100mm Alps fader is WU284700. There was also a thread on it here: [url]http://soundforums.net/varsity/328-ls-9-fader-replacement.html[/url] Good luck! [/QUOTE]
