    Old Scrimmer Console

    Hey all, I'm new here. I recently acquired a VERY VERY old E.D.I. Scrimmer two-scene preset console to try to fix. (old enough that when i called EDI, they said that the only schematics were on Blueprint). It has a spot for a fluorescent light inside it, it's 18 Chan, is analog...
