Great vid and nice jam! Rewatching while I wait on delivery of a used 240 that I found recently for a good price.

Great job! About the fader plates; have you considered laser engraving the existing plates? If they are aluminum that should be possible. I don’t know about steel. I don’t have a laser engraver but I do have a second hand Ender 3D printer that cost me only €110 and it can mount a laser unit (also not that expensive). It might be a good investment. Since you are in audio, you can use it to print broken plastic parts and perhaps even engrave your fader plates..?

@@tobitweaks also if you are aiming to get faster boot times, then you could consider some small upgrades. The Asus P2B-S motherboard you are running should be able to run a 1ghz coppermine pentium 3 cpu and up to 1gb of ram (at least with the latest 1024 bios - you are currently running 1022) - instead of the 500mhz P3 and 160mb ram that you currently have in it..... - those "old" upgrades should be cheap to find 2nd hand and require minimal effort to upgrade, how much of a boost they will give is hard to say exactly - but might aswell max out the capabilities of the motherboard currently installed ;-)

Tobi, regarding power supplies those are a bit odd witch this 2.1V rail. But, fan in them looks like a 80mm standard fan, if you are lucky those will be 12V, you could swap them with something quieter like noctua, arctic or gelid. Take a powersupply offline and wait about 15 min before you open it. There are a capacitors inside that might give a good shock (400V big ones). 15 min is usualy what takes them to self discharge. A good look inside is also a good idea. Capacitors at this age like to go poof or leak. Also you can buy new fiber optics cables (newer one sare much more durable to flexing) things to search for will be dual multimode (orange or aqua, not yellow) SC APC (connetors) patchcord. Greating from Poland :)

Wow, I haven't seen an old IBM 8265 ATM Switch for a long time. That is a blast from the past. I am not on the audio production side, but the network side and lucky enough we have thrown out all of our ATM equipment many years ago. I am surprised they still use it in places, but then saw the Windows NT computers boot up, and then that was self explanatory of the ATM use... 🤣👍🤠 Gotta love the 1990's!

Yes, older ATM/TDM are indeed dying, but I'd argue that newer consoles are 10x more effienent and more powerful than the older systems. Look up the Audio Network in the Sphere in Las Vegas, this system is based on a protocol called Ravenna that uses an IP network that Lawo essentially created for their newer Audio over IP Console System.
