I'd be a little careful if I were you and only consider it if it's very cheap. Reason: Thule Audio went out of business years ago, so there's no way of getting support/service if something doesn't work and information/schematics are difficult to get.

yes ... know the failure ... However I do not offer more than € 100. But how does it sound in stereo or HT? this is my curiosity
 
This is diyaudio. Why pay E100? I built my great sounding mixer with mm RIAA out of a sow's ear RA-88a kit I bought for $15. Hummed and hissed about 40 db down originally. Pull the transformer out of the case, install wall-wart socket and +-8 regulator & pi filter, change the op amps to low noise 33078, add power bypass and feedback resistor bypass to op amps to eliminate oscillation, float the RCA rings (signal ground) from the case with o-rings. Convert the DJ mike input to mono radio. About $25 in parts. The fun is in upgrading consumer grade **** to real performers. Top of the line units like Thule, Mark Levinson, MacIntosh, Dyna, you're going to pay a premium on E-bay even for blown up or worn out (pots) examples. The trick is finding donor cases that aren't all surface mount and ribbon cable like numark and behrenger.
