Hi guys,
I just bought a used Live sound system that included (what I remember anyway)
-Fender (AMP A, AMP B) 600W power amp -Fender 16 Channel mixer (dual effects, dual equalizer, and other functions) -6 Shure Mics SM58's -2 Fender 15" Speakers -1 Fender Powered Monitor (300W) -Another 300W power Amp (QSC) -5 Mic Stands with BOOM -AKAI 3CD , Dual Deck stereo (or is KAWAI? ) -Mic, Instrument and Speaker Cables -SHURE Mic QG something...($169 brand new) -Mixer, Power amp, and second power amp are all cased up.
When I went home, the package was missing the SHURE QG MIC and one BOOM Stand and the second Speaker cable. On top of that the Mixer has some channels that the volume slides on them make noise when moved (especially if there is sound going through). Its like a broken wire or something, very bad noise, and the worse part is the Master Volume slides have that problem as well.
I got the deal for $1500 (the system is over 5 years old), but the guy said if its missing something or something does not work right, he is willing to work with me and drop the price some. How much should I get him to drop?
I want to make sure that the problem on those volume slides is fixable other wise I will return the entire package. So considering the SHUR MIC , Cable, BOOM STAND, and FIXING the Mixer, what should I negotiate ON?
Thanks.

Hi Mosiqaar, Sounds like your slides are dirty! Slids are very good at getting dirty! Their open and dirt can easily get down in them. You will have to clean them. Do they sound like static when you move them? The problem is that people don't keep a dust cover on them, as much as they could, this would help a lot. If you got the right kind of cleaner you could spray them and move them back forth maybe 9 or 10 times, they will probably clear up. I've did it on a lot of a lot of electronic devices when I was in the repair busness. But that's a pretty expensive piece, you could go inside, but those slides are closed controls. So you might as well clean them from the top! Go to Radio Shack or some place like that and tell them what you want to clean. Just try one at first when you spray in the slide groove, work your slide back & forth several times,. That cleaner will all evaperate. Turn the power off while your cleaning,if it's poping a lot. Hope this helps. Nobby PS: Be careful with that hookup, it don't sound right! Without the proper load you could burn up a output transister! But I'm to tired to think. I'll try to get back with you tomorrow! Good Night, Nobby
