After years of nudging channels I finally got a tech friend of mine out
to look at it. He's great. He discovered a way to carefully solder a jumper wire over 2 points of each fader. He used a very thin wire and was super careful with not heating up the particular spots he was soldering. I can solder but not like this guy. In this case you have to really know what your doing from how wide an area you're heating, how much you're heating, and what components are in danger of being heated etc.
I don't know what he would charge you but I'm pretty sure he would do them for a reasonable price, with a quick turnaround. Let me know if you want his email. I'll check with him to see if I can post it. I may have done this a few years ago on another post.

Oh wow. My faders are working fine. But it is always good to know there is a fix. Thanks for the information.
