[QUOTE="Marsellus Fariss, post: 41157, member: 1107"] Re: Siena versus Verona Pretty much everything is buckets these days. The XL200 and the Crest Century VX where among the last single channel strip consoles as I recall. Heritage and X-VCA where the beginning of buckets from those companies. I'm sure something similar happened with Soundcraft. Allen and Heath and lots of others still do the single channel end up card in desks as opposed to all surface mounted single PCB designs but they're mounted under large one piece tops so you'd need to pull the knobs and nuts from the suspect channels then flip it over and take off the bottom, ribbons and grounding strips to take a channel card out. Way more involved then three screws and some ribbon cables. Funky pan pots can mean broken traces or worn out or really dirty bus switches other places in the circuit that cause the image to lean to one side or some similar wackeyness. They're built to be worked on and still in production so it's probably not to large a bill. But any large format analogue board will develop problems due to all the connections and moving parts. I worked in a venue that had an Allen and Heath GL show up brand new with a bad channel out of the box. When it was opened up some years later to fix a few broken Mute LED solder joints all that was needed was to re-seat the ribbon on that channel and it's worked ever since.
