I no longer have the manual, but can tell you that console has five
mixers and that the cue and monitor amps are internal plug-in modules.
I don't remember whether or not it has an external rackmount transformer
panel like its bigger contemporaries in the early 1970's "Solid
Statesman" line do. Thinking again I believe it does. Iirc you will find
five identical "output modules" which are left and right program amps,
cue amp, and left and right monitor amps. The power transistors in these
modules tend to fail too often, at least in continuous broadcast service.
