Peavey is what it is, but whatever it is, it does it quite well for the
price. It has used the same connectors for decades and does not generally
have problems with them. They are actually pretty robust. IMHO. Possibly
even overengineered at that price range.

It could be, of course, that this is one design that has fallen beneath
expectations. I have not seen a lot of Peavey mixers as they have never
been that popular in the UK.

But, in this case we are talking about a desk manufactured 18 years ago.
I'd be pretty happy with a cheap desk that lasted this long.


With hindsight, all that was necessary was to press-form the tails into a
near circle

Yes. NEVER rely on data sheet values. Seen this kind of thing all too often.
