003 Rack+ functional but needs some love

[The Turnback]

I have a 003 Rack + unit for sale. However, even though all preamps work (and the gain for each unit is 100% adjustable), the front board selector buttons no longer function. This means that (as is) you cannot select Line-DI, 48v, Pad and HPF for each channel. I tested the unit with Pro Tools 11 with the updated Avid 003 drivers.

I did purchase a replacement board - Front buttons - DI/LIne selection CH select- (eBay) that has been fully tested and is functional but I am not interested in taking apart the unit to replace the board. I thought it would be a task I could handle (I've taken apart numerous computers, etc.) but this is a bit more complicated (I opened the unit to test the new board but it requires removal of several components to install the new board). I called a certified repair company in NYC and they estimated the repair at 1.5 hours (at $125.00 hr) and since I have no need for this unit it didn't make sense to pay to sell.

If you have the skills this unit could be repaired back to 100%. And since parts are no longer available (dBm Pro Audio Services in NYC told me they won't sell parts when I asked them about the replacement board I had purchased; they keep these parts for such repairs) the unit could be stripped apart and sold separately.

Again, the unit does function without the repair, but with limits. With the extra board, you are good to go.

I plan on having the unit go up on eBay but I'd throw it up here first.

I'm hoping to get $225.00 (just to help cover the cost of the replacement board) plus shipping. Obviously I'd consider other offers too.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks.

Hey All,

I put the unit up on eBay (starting bid $50.00) just in case anyone is interested:
