Oh. Is the 6000 series the original MS1202 and CR1604?
(I still have mine.)
No, the 6000 series was a Tapco product, Greg Mackie's
company before Audio Control and eventually Mackie
Designs. Tapco was purchased by Electro-Voice and they
continued to sell mixers and power amplifiers for a few
years before retiring the line. The current (LOUD
Technologies) Mackie brand uses the name Tapco for their
intro-grade line of audio products.
The 6000 series mixer was built like a tank (as were the
earliest Mackies like your 1202 and 1604) and had rotary
pots, not slide faders.

I seem to recall that some early Tascam mixers had sliders, but they were
mechanical controvances with something like a dial cord from an old radio,
that operated regular rotary pots.
