Can you tell me what kind it is, or send a pic and I'll tell you? In
any case, a good shot of canned air is always a good place to start with
a fader.

Thanks again Ike. I tried swapping faders around and the bad one
still did the same thing no matter which channel I popped it in, so I
assume the fader itself is malfunctioning. Are they fixable, or is it
a case of when they go, they go?

They pull up from the top, but there's a WAY longer explanation than
that needed before you can do it without mangling some of the
connectors.
In the short term, however, you can actually pull the modules
up and inspect them without disconnecting them. Just BE SURE the
power
supply is OFF as they can and do short against the adjacent module on
the way in and out.
Check the 3-pin Molex header for the fader on the one with the
fader problem. It's the .156 (ie: larger) connector near the fader
end
of the module.

Thanks guys. I'll try the button pushing. If I have to eventually
remove the strips, does the whole thing just pop out from the top
or
do I need to disconnect anything first from underneath?

Hi
A SSL4000 channel strip has about 23 switches involved in the path
from
mic in to the stereo bus. ALL of them have to be pristine for
decent
quality and reliable signal. The main 'downer' on those desks is
that
many of the switches are involved in things like 'EQ to dynamics
sidechain' stuff you hardly ever use but ALL must be exercised
regularly. The relative simplicity of the Neoteks have a certain
attraction at this point!
Happy button pressing.

Hi David,
For starters, try "exercising" all of the switches on each
channel. Just because a switch is "off" or dis-engaged, doesn't
mean
it is out-of-circuit. In fact, the signal flows through the
switch
anyway, just through the contacts that are used in the "up"
position.
Beware the switch you never use!
best,

So I've gotten to the point where I'm checking out each of the
40
channels in my Elite. I've got 3 channels that are passing only
high
end signal. All channel strip functions are off, so it's got
nothing
to do with the EQ. Any ideas or suggestions? I've never pulled a
channel strip out of this console yet. Is there anything I
should
watch out for when pulling it? I also have one fader that
doesn't
gradually increase in volume. It starts with silence then
immediately
comes on at volume through the range of the fader. Is this a
fixable
problem or is the fader shot?
thanks,
Dave
