I just got this mixer used. Trying to figure out how to operate it but noticed the right channel on the main mix output us not working. Also for info, the previous owner has broken the headphone volume knob off. I think he dropped the unit. Could that cause the problem? Where can I get a volume pot?
In order to help you we would need the make and model of the mixer.

If all other functions work for those channels, the most likely problem is the fader itself. These can fail and operate more like switches rather than faders. Without witnessing the behavior, I can not state that for sure. While these mixers are not the hardest to work on, they are time consuming. The faders can be purchased from Mackie directly. If you need to have this repaired, any shop that repairs audio gear should be able to erpair this for you. Where are you located?

Remember that the subs are each MONO outputs. They do not have stereo outs. They can be used as pairs like 1-2 for stereo and those should PAN with the pan control at each channel assigned to a sub.
For mono's, the left channel is the one used.
Refer to the signal flow diagram for the Mackie mixers to analyze this. It probably is on page 28 of your manual.
For the subs, you can pan AT THE CHANNELS ASSIGNED between for instance sub1 and sub2. Note these work together as odds and evens.
Testimonial: "Thanks very much for your help,this enabled me to test the mixer with confidence,all i need now is the owners manual"
Place your mixer in a location that will allow you to hear the sound coming from the speakers clearly. The best placement is opposite the speakers, centered between the left and right pair. Connect the power supply to your mixer.
Connect the female end of an XLR cable to a microphone. Run the other end of the cable to your mixing board. Plug the male end into the "Mic" port of an open channel. These channels provide the preamps that will shape the sound characteristics of the microphone signal, processing them for output. Repeat the process for each microphone in your rig
Connect one end of a balanced 1/4-inch cable to the left channel jack labeled "L" found on the "Main Out" panel. Connect another cable to the right channel jack with the "R" label. Connect the opposite end of each cable to the matching left and right inputs on you amplifier.
Power on your mixer and amplifier. Test each microphone connected to the mixer for output.
Adjust the volume of each microphone channel to create a balanced mix. Use the "EQ" knobs to shape the tone and cut out frequencies that are causing squeal and feedback.

My advice is to go to the specialist and him solve your problem. Maybe the previous owner has broken not only the headphone because I had the same problem and I thought that it is not a big one but when I went to repair it, the specialist advice was to buy another one. I was depressed that I couldn't return my money for the previous owner and I had to buy another. Thanks, that I found audio-direct.com where there were a lot of models of mixers and I chose one which had the best characteristics and now I take care of it to be in good condition.
