Fender mixer question

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

This might be a bit off topic but I have a Fender mixer, a 4216 16
channel that I dug out of storage.(once owned a recording studio as
well as a couple of hifi shops back when.)
It's seen a fair amount of use but is in very good condition.
Was wondering what one of these units was worth these days?
Anyone have any idea?

Thanks. I'm playing around with the idea of adding it to my post
production sound setup for my video studio.
Much more than I need and it is bulky as well.
Debating whether it'd be better to sell it and pick up something
smaller though.

Is there much interest in these old mixers? I have had some of the
older gear that musicians clamored after. fuzz boxes, analog pedals,
etc....( I have a couple of older JBL studio monitors, two ways with
15inch woofers and sectoral mid/high horns that are mint. Teak veneer
over birch 10ply. Some of the smoothest bass I've ever heard from
direct radiators. Every artist that's come in for a taping has wanted
them. They're so old I can't even remember when we bought them, at
least 35 year ago. Reason they're in such good shape was they were
warehoused back in the late 70's and I only got them out and dusted
off a couple of years back. Still sound like new and hold up well
against anything late model in the same range.)

Thanks again for the info.
