Btw, the Yamaha PM5000 is Discontinued

They are all Discontinued.....Except for the Newer Digital consoles by Yamaha.
The PM 5000 was a 6 Figure Console... I worked on all of them. The PM 1K 2K 3 K 3500 4K 5K and The World's first Digital Audio Large Format Live Console The PM1D also discontinued. Since Yamaha came out with the PM1D the format of digital is now is the standard in the live sound industry. Thanks To Yam-A-Jam

And you got me on the RED Car Thang.. My 2007 H2 Was Bright Red with the Optional Front Roof Marker lights.

Depending on the Channel Count and configuration.

By the time you were done with Two Power supplies...a PS switcher....road cases and Associated gear you were over 100K fully equipped. What you list now is the used prices of Analog Gear. ANalog is dead in the Live Sound Business.

Then when you went to the Digital Version (PM1D) you got this...For a price:

Upon its release around 2001, the Yamaha PM1D was a flagship, high-end digital touring console with a total system MSRP that often exceeded $100,000 to over $150,000+ USD, depending on the configuration of DSP engines, I/O racks, and control surfaces. It was designed as a comprehensive, modular, and redundant digital solution for large-scale live sound. [1, 2]

Now you can buy one at this price.
