Okay, understood. They are smaller (60mm?) faders. :(

There is a stereo monitor section by the mono master and an
"alt" (pre-fade) out over the L-R masters. Better yet would be
monitoring with something from (or similar to products from) the
link below:

Sounds like you want "solo-in-place" or mute groups. I don't
know if you'll find that in a small format analog mixer. I'll check
the Midas again. Aren't AFL/PFL always mono? After Fader
Listen / Pre Fader Listen - you want After Pan (Balance) Listen. I
suppose this makes the most sense for stereo channels. On a
mixer without "solo-in-place", I do this manually by muting the
channels I don't want to hear. It is a PITA with lots of channels.

Conneaut Audio Devices, they only make mics now (out of the
old Astatic plant):

http://www.astatic.com (check out the D-104 Silver Eagle)

I had a CAD Maxcon 16, now serviced by (no pictures, etc.):

You can probably search out some more info if you're interested.
Excellent design, not so great mechanical construction. To wrap
this back to slightly more on topic: I still have one of their
modular effects units - single rack space with space for 8
modules. I have four modules: comp/gate, dynamic filter/exciter,
exp/gate and variable dynamics. The sound good and I like to
use them in modular synth patches.
