Need Sunn Magna 2280 manual/info

I am looking for a manual and information for this 8 channel rack mount mixer.  Does anyone know anything about it or know where I can find it?

Sincerely
Pier Calacino

Hello:
 I have a service manual for the magna mixer but don't have the time to scan it in right now. I will do so at my earliest convenience but it will be after I scan the enforcer manual that I have promised to so many.

Thank You so much!
Do you know the specs on it too?  Was it a good mixer in its day?  Even today?
Was it used strictly as a stage mic mixer?

Thanks Pier

Hello:
 As mixers go it was pretty good however the XLR inputs are not balanced, they just short pin 2 to ground. I installed transformers into mine so I could run it as a monitor mixer on a split snake. I didn't want it to unbalance a 100 ft snake to my FOH mixer. Sonic qualities are pretty good except for the power supply makes the channel next to the master section hum a little (not unlike many mixers today with integral power supplies). It used a motherboard with plug in channel strips which makes them easy to fix, but taking them apart to "eraser" the edge connectors to clean them, neccessary. I have recorded through mine and used the monitor rack as mains with very good results.
