hmm, ok, the raw bill of materials for such a mixer,including the cost of
a commissioned flightcase and set of frontplates, 6 for the channels,
1 master for the output/headphone/metering section,
Penny & Giles or ALPS faders and comparable quality panpots,
input gain pots , circuit boards, knobs, supply, tubes, ventilation system
will run up to 2000 EUR, i'd guestimate.

what Graham means by a-one off being a problem, in addition to
this BoM, there's the design, prototype, measure, evaluate,
design finalize & actual building hours that have to be made up
for in cost by 1 product.
