Eurodesk MX9000 Tear Down and Cleaning

[@BasedFrequency]

Man nothing more satisfying than a good deep clean. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Cool video. About a year ago, I did something really similar with a Mackie CR1604 mixer from the 90s. Like you, I watched every video on youtube to get some ideas of what the job was going to entail. While less channels than yours, very similar to the same stuff you dealt with. Fortunately, I didnt have any glued connectors so I had no trouble getting them off. I did try to source new slider potentiometers because there were many channels that were scratchy and/or would drop in and out. Unfortunately, I could not find any that would work without modification. So I decided to desolder all of the old ones and disassemble to clean them. Opening up faders to remove all the little components definitely takes patience.. That was obviously a big job but pretty much made them new again. I know jobs like this are beyond tedious especially considering hardware mixers are almost pointless in todays time but there is definitely something therapeutic about it. Anyway, enough rambling. Glad you got this mixer running again!

Sorry, can't help you with parts. A few people online have done tear downs for parts only, so you might want to reach out to them.

Damn I just got one of these boards and it’s pretty damn dusty on the inside. Imma have to do this project soon.

[@antonioscolotti8558]

I have one of these. Did you service any of the switches and pots? Some of my switches are sticking. Nice video.

[@JeremydePrisco]

Thanks for checking it out. Everything I did is shown in the video. Fortunately, I didn't have to replace any switches or pots. They just needed to be cleaned.

[@anthonyscott3150]

How did you clean them? They seem to be sealed up pretty good.

@@anthonyscott3150 DeOxIT (D5). For a board like this, you'll go through at least 1.5 cans. As you spray the pot, turn it back and forth and you will notice almost an immediate difference. A little goes a long way.

Hi, this Behringer desk is copy of Mackie 24/8 bus. I have same desk and had same problem with buttons, also there is often problem with ribbon cables. Switches are still available and you can change them, it just need some effort since the PCB is 2-sided. :)
