This broken DBX 3BX-DS Dynamic Range Controller has a broken PCB and comes with an attached Power Cable.

Condition

This unit needed a replacement potentiometer installed. The original part is impossible to find, so we sourced another pot of the same value, but you can't find the right size. In the process of cutting it down, I managed to crack the PCB, which cracked the PCB and broke about 15 to 20 traces on the board. I re-traced about half of them, before putting this aside, and never coming back to it. I'm finally throwing in the towel and recognizing I'm never going to get back to this. It's missing the knobs. It's not that it's a super complex repair, it's just very tedious and time consuming to trace and bodge all of the broken traces. Again, about half of them have been traced out and bodged, though you should double check my work if you buy it to repair it. Absolutely no returns, as is for parts.
