He said it's over 20 years old and he paid 20K for it back then. What do y'all think? I'm fairly new at producing- would this desk be ideal for mixing jungle tracks(as far as it being analog etc.)?

If I really don't have any money- but may be able to come up with it- would this present an opportunity that may not be so easily manifested in the future? What is it about this model that would suggest uniqueness from other oldskool analog desks. I wouldn't want to pass this up and then find later down the road that it would be really cool to have one. Would this be a real score for the price??

A pawnshop there is flogging one for $2300 so I guess the price is about its money if you can haggle some. You won`t need a console as expensive as that tho, not for jungle by any means. Its your money so do you what you thinks right, but personally I`d get something a bit more low-rent and divert the extra elsewhere.

damn I miss that desk sometimes!! - it was custom built, possibly by (i think his name was), ray walker (??).. from I think soundcraft he was with someone said this at that time i got it anyways... some of the boards seemed to be signed thus with RW on them. Th EQ was phenomenal, you could switch in to a telephone sound or whatever on the top mid or sub-bass on the lo-end.

or a mackie 24/8 for a LOT less
you need to ask yourself how many channels you need, etc?
kilo is right about the noise. An older desk will likely be quite noisy, hard to repair if it needs it, etc...
plus..you say you dont really have the money, but you can scrape it up? If you can scrape up $2500, why not spend it on a smaller or newer board and get some other sounds?
what other gear do you have?
