Found a similar product on A&H's website, apparently it's called the Saber 8.

If you want lots of knobs and won't go digital $400 is a good price.

If memory serves its more designed as a studio tracking board, 6 aux on 4 knobs, assign switches up top 3 band eq with single swept mids. more for mixing down froom a 16 track studio than live work.

Its old tech.

If it truly is what you need it might be a fair valuation, if not its a waste of $400

Looking at retiring. Local PA market has shrank to 2 guys with guitars and bose l1 compacts or expecting full line array and 16 movers on stage for $300... no middle left going back to event DJ stuff, half the work for twice the pay.

Is it in good working order?  Does it fit your needs?  As Richard said, the workflow of the design is more for studio work, but it may do the job for what you need.

Remember that this is likely a 20+ year old unit, so reliability is going to start to be a concern.  Some components may have drifted out of spec, so sound quality may not be as good as you expect.

Let alone finding parts.

It's a crap shoot.
