Anyone used a Tamura 48 Channel Analog mixer?

Anyone? Beuller? Anyone?

Seems to be 90s vintage, but manual in Japanese. No inline monitoring, but dynamics and Eq on each channel. Was built for some sort of broadcast application. Has more electronics in it than the spaceshuttle!!!!

Sounds FASINATING! Have you hooked it up and heard it yet? What's insides? I have a multi-racial family and my nephew's new wife is Japanese, she can read anything from there. How did you get it? More info, please.

Its for sale, so just looking at it. It wasnt hooked up to anything. It is massive in every way. Faders are modular P&G, the channel strips plug into sockets in the base of the unit (no ribbon cables), which is nice. The channel strips themselves have untold ICs and electronics on about 7 different PCBs. Will try to get the manual and scan it, and email it to you. I had an offer on GS to translate some of it. Didnt recognise any of the ICs...all mitsubishi etc. None of them european or US, obviously.
Tamura in Japan just keep asking me to buy one of their new mixers when I ask for information!! Might be able to get schematics, so will post if I do.
I do fancy dynamics and eq on every channel, even if it is broadcast.
thanks

Here is a tiny part of the manual (about 2-300 pages with tonnes of schematics. Think this is just the channel strip stuff.....

edit: couldnt upload the PDF here, so heres the link to it on GS
