1178 Channel A "Railing"

One of favorite units, the 1178 is a very useful tool. This one has an issue when the needle intermittently pins hard right. It took a while to replicate the issue on the bench. It might be a cap, cold solder joint, opamp?

I don't know yet, I am going to start to trace the problem from the output back to the input.

UREI 1178

What can these be used for?
What is their best use?
How do you wire one of these up to a console?
If you're wiring one to a patchbay, how?
The thing just has screws on the back?
How to use it?
Are they really desirable? If decide to get rid of this one would it be terribly difficult and how much?

sound difference between Urei 1176 and Urei 1178

Can anybody tell me what's the difference in sound between the Urei 1176 and 1178?(I know, the 1178 is stereo) I think there are only silverface 1178 around. Is there an difference like with the 1176 blackface/silverface? Is there something in serial-numbers that's important? Is the four- Buttons-In-Trick working with the 1178.
Hope somebody can help me.

1178 vs. . 1176?

I've seen a couple of silver 1178's for sale on Ebay, usually described as a stereo version of an 1176. Sounded pretty intriguing, except that recently on one of these forums someone (sorry, can't remember who, but I think it was someone heavy) said that the 1178 in no way sounds anything like an 1176. The implication was clearly that it was an inferior beast.
