Hi Tommy The main thing to be careful of when you reassemble your Elite is making sure the connectors for the ribbon cables go back on properly. The common errors are: - connector off by one pin - connector on correctly but with a pin either bent over across its neighbours or sticking out in front of the connector. Both of these will make the console behave badly. On other questions: Yes you can run the console without all of the modules in it. No there's not a lot that needs calibrating. If you want to add a 2-mix insert, you can buy one of my kits. I have a neotek Essence in the shop that I was thinking of rebuilding into a summing mixer. If you want we could look at building a custom configuration to meet your needs.
