Firstly, my condolences on buying possibly the worst desk ever made, but what are you going to plug into your dimmer?, as that will tell us how much power you need and whether you can use single phase dimmers, which are quicker and easier and cheaper or 3 phase.As long as you are happy with used gear there is no problem at that price.

If you are after single

If you are after single phase dimmers which are roughly around your price range - Jands 4 pak (new Dmx version) is around $800 new. Theatrelight Comet 6 Dimmer, not sure on price but would probably be around the same.

Dimmers

I've just looked around and can supply 2 Light Emotion 4 way dmx dimmers, single phase, for $600 + gst, for the same price, used Showtec 6 way dmx dimmers, single and/or 3 phase, all with 12 months warranty.Can someone beat that?

The 6 channel Showtec's

The 6 channel Showtec's from David are great.  We bought some from him last year and havent looked back.  Not too portable though if you are after lightweight.

David, what do you think of the JANDS 4 pak box?  We have an old one here in Kalgoorlie which doesnt fade any more, just on and off.  Was thinking of a new one for a small 4 channel 10 amp solution.

Thoughts?

The probability is that the

The probability is that the faders are dead, probably a $50 repair, they normally sell for $3-400 s/h, so worth repairing
