That sounds rather expensive. How many bands and what are you trying to accomplish?
What kind of a speaker is that 4312?
Have you checked Behringer web site for EQs?

Soundcraftsmen equipment was low end mid fi gear at best,mostly it was economy gear & not high quality or highly sought after,the $900 price tag is because its listed as new in box which in most cases is not a good thing with 30 plus year old electronics,the seller is looking for a sucker plain & simple.

Soundcraftsmen products were absolutely not "low end, mid fi ... economy gear" as Highfihoney states. Realistic/Radio Shack falls under that category, fair and square. But Soundcraftsmen made some seriously great equipment used by audiophiles and pro audio techs in recording studio and live performance settings. For a company to excel in both markets required high quality and reliability. While $900 is way more than the PE2217 normally sells, it's a really great and well made piece of audio equipment. The combination of a super transparent preamp and wire-wound coil, octave eq combined with a zero-gain and channel balance feature plus tons of inputs was unheard of at the time. It sold for $530 in the early 70s(not cheap!). It worked(s) great and looks really nice too.
