For some unfathomable reason, Yamaha elected to fit knobs on this mixer

Since all the pots are PCB mounted in groups of 6 channels, that means that
pressure or a blow to the top surface forces all the knobs through the top
panel, breaking the PCB's.

I have seen a few of these catastophes now, and still scratch my head,
wondering what on earth Yamaha were thinking.

Maybe they hired the same people who designed those Alesis consoles with
the resistive elements deposited on the main board....
