We have a Leigh Millennium at my school and its such an old desk that there is a buildup of dust or something in the grandmaster slider and it never goes to Full. It bounces between 99 and 98 when the slider is all the way up. Not a show stopper, but it bugs the crap out of me. The other thing is that its a memory console with two scene capability and has two DMX universes. It has an A/B fade and a C/D fade so it has go, hold, clear, etc. times two. Hit the wrong Go button and you're good as screwed without making it look even worse that the lights not changing when they're supposed to in the first place.
Good thing it crapped out on me this weekend right before a show. Maybe the school will finally fork out for a new one. Spend some $8,000,000 a year and can't find a dime for theatre.
Same thing with our Status! it doesn't have a Go or Hold button, you push the sliders up to activate the cue/two scene operation. And if you move them when not intended to your screwed and only way we know how to get control back is to flip the Two-Scene/Multiscene switch. Which makes all active lights go out then come back on as the board wants them too.
