As you can see in the photos some bending to where cable wraps onto back of mixer, a fray in the power cable. Plastic around headphone out is breaking due to screws in too tight at some point. Scratches on some areas of the wood. Some static in the knobs, which sounds like a good pot cleaning needed. Please see photos for further evidence of condition. Questions and offers welcome thank you
