Guess what? I got all the parts from Mouser, and as of today, my MT-100 is working fine! 

I know I'm supposed to change one part and test it, then change another, etc. but I just changed all four and tried it out. It works!!! Both channels!! YES!!!

I'll be rockin' it out for a couple days to put it to the test

That was an easy fix, and so fulfilling now that it's working in stereo again. I'm stoked

So I bought yet another Behringer desk X2442USB. I now have 5 of them from various eras.  They are one of the best appointed and thought out desks I've ever come across.  I bought my first one over 30 years ago, they haven't changed much, added a few things along the way.  Unfortunately, over the years the channel assignment buttons get a bit gummy and the one I have in my studio rack started having issues with the pan pots on the last 2 stereo channels.  So I bought a new one coz I just need it to work... 

So now I have a pretty new QX model (which don't rack mount ) but have Klark Teknik FX (seems Behringer bought Klark Teknik) and a USB connector in between chan 1 & 2 for the Behringer radio mics (they don't work with anything else is my understanding, so useless for me ).  So this one is in the live rig for the PA.  And now the new X model which do rack mount to replace the one in my studio rack.

More refined?

In what way, refined tone or refined playability?

I never played a PIA, so I don't know how different they are from the Jem guitars. I used to own several of those, but I sold them off. They aren't really my style of guitar.

Congratulations though, I hope you get a lot out of it.

Thanks! It feels like my old JEMs.... but more refined.

Nice score!

That looks really really nice and a good price too I guess.

Hey Shibiwan, nice .

Whow!! That's gorgeous

I totally lucked out and picked up this Ibanez PIA3761 last night from a local sale (foreign student doing a fire sale before he moves back to his home country). The guitar is in mint condition and shows no signs of being played! 

He still has a Kemper Powerhead ($1300) and a Marshall 1960A ($550). No tubes in those... hard pass. 

The Impala will be a lot easier than the Rust-a-Rado, at least I hope so. I also need to replace the front rotors and maybe some suspension parts too. After 5 years, I guess it's time.
