[Ron C[_2_]]

The desk I normally use for my Halloween stuff seems to have been
taken out by one of my cats. [Long uninteresting story]
Anyway, I pulled out my old Mackie CR 1604 vlz to fill in.
Seems that board suffers from that ribbon cable oxidation
problem that I seem to recall was common to them.

Two questions:
[1] Can I still get replacement ribbon cables for that board?
( ...and if so , where? )

[2] I'm thinking about getting a Mackie ProFX16v2 to fill in
for the dead desk and the sick CR 1604...

Has Mackie solved the ribbon cable problem in the new board?

Note: I'm mostly retired from sound stuff, and just do simple
hobby level holiday stuff.
