thanx for the info. is it worth even using it or should i just go with modern compact. i know some like the older cause of sound differences but it is so dang massive for a 4 member band that i help with sound on.

It is a kool piece of kustom history, but it is a simple two band channel EQ, and is massive for only 12 channels. New mixers will have multi effects, 3 to 4 band EQ, 2 or more monitor sends, low noise pre amps, less weight and space requirements. I guess you'd have to compare the actual sound quality of the XII mixer to a new modern mixer. If the kustom sounds good, and you don't mind moving it, you've saved the cost of buying a new mixer.
