I was going to eventually put this up on Ebay, but since there's been a bit of interest in this series of desks here lately someone might be interested in taking this of my hands for parts/restoration before I spend far too much time chasing a few small issues it has:
Ta@#$% M-3500 24x8 Mixer with Meter Bridge and Balancing Kit
LA-3500 Balancing Kit fitted to give 16 balanced tape inputs and 8 balanced group outputs
24 mono mic/line inputs
Inline monitoring. 48 channels at mixdown
4 band EQ, sweep mids - shelf hi/lo w/ select freq. and an 80hz HPF
6 aux sends(1 & 3 and 2 & 4 are on switches
Full meter bridge, 24 inputs, 8 busses, 6 auxes and stereo VU meters
External rack mount power supply and cable
Original service manual with complete schematics
Known issues:
Ch 23 meter reads full scale with no input when meter set to display Tape In. This is not a problem with the meter, as it reads fine when Line In is selected.
Aux 2 output not working
Grp 1 output not working
All the channels work fine, faders are good, metering works fine, no missing knobs (even got some spare). Some of the pots are a bit scratchy, but there is no loss of signal that I'm aware of once they're not being moved.
Cosmetically it's pretty good, apart from some wear around the master section control room pot, talkback button etc where the paint is worn. A few little scuffs and scratches here and there but nothing major. It's only been used in the studio, never on the road.
$300
Pickup only from Melbourne (I'm not moving this thing!)
PM me for pictures.

Thanks Peter, the desk arrived today, exactly as you described it.
Peter was very helpful in my arrangements to get the desk from Melbourne to Adelaide, as was Mick Worthley.
The desk appears to have made the trip safely, but I won't have a chance to plug it in until next week as I'm up to my ears doing sound for a show at the Adelaide Festival Fringe.
I highly recommend Peter as a seller and would not hesitate to deal with him again.
