Death of an audio console live on the air

Judging by the burn marks I'm assuming the got AudioArts/Wheatstone to send them a new backplane. The connectors on the middle of that mess look actually burnt up. What did he do... dump the whole coffee pot in there?!
 
Sheesh! I've seen cleaner equipment that's been in storage for 30 years. That thing was just nasty inside. That carpeting of dust couldn't have helped.

I just talked to one of our support engineers. It's an older Wheatstone A-6000 console, and yes, they had to replace at least one section of backplane/motherboard. Of course, we had those in stock. :)

Excellent Scott! The fact that you have parts on the shelf ready to ship really helps a guy when something like this happens for sure!
